With organisers vowing that the Tokyo 2020 Olympics will go ahead this summer despite the ongoing global pandemic that delayed the event by a year, some nations – like Hungary, Serbia and Israel – are moving ahead with inoculating their would-be Olympians to ensure they are free to train, qualify, travel and compete. But some – including elite athletes – question whether fast-tracking young, healthy sportspeople for vaccinations should be a priority and whether it fits with Olympic values.
With vaccine delays creating hurdles in the global race for Covid-19 immunity, wealthy countries are competing to secure more shots, less affluent ones are running behind and the finish line remains a speck in the distance.

Jan 27 (Reuters) - The International Olympic Committee is not in favour of athletes “jumping the queue” for COVID-19 vaccines, President Thomas Bach said on Wednesday, after some National Olympic Committees (NOCs) revealed plans to inoculate athletes before the Tokyo Games.
Bach added that it was up to NOCs to coordinate with their respective governments over athlete access to vaccines.
Israel’s Olympic Committee told Reuters earlier on Wednesday that it had already inoculated half its Olympic delegation and would complete the process by the end of May.
The country currently leads the world on per capita vaccinations, having inoculated about 30% of its population of 9 million with at least one dose.
