Carlton<\/a> has remained tight-lipped over the future of a senior player who's yet to receive the COVID-19<\/a> vaccination.<\/p>\n

Several reports claim the Blues<\/a> were aware of the player's hesitation to receive the vaccine ahead of the Victorian government's deadline, which requires all authorised workers in the state to have received a second dose by November 26.<\/p>\n

The AFL<\/a> has mandated that all of its players receive the vaccine or risk having their contract torn up, or be placed on an inactive list on a smaller salary.<\/p>\n

The club hasn't revealed the identity of the player but it's understood the player is among the most senior in the team.<\/p>\n

\"Carlton<\/p>\n

If the player doesn't receive the vaccine he won't be able to train with the team when they reassemble for preseason training in late November – early December.<\/p>\n

All Victorian-based players were required to have received their first dose by October 22.<\/p>\n

At the deadline for getting the first dose, all of Victoria's clubs, except two, had confirmed all players had received at least one dose or were booked to get one.<\/p>\n

It comes after Adelaide AFLW player Deni Varnhagen was moved to the Crows' inactive list due to her refusal to receive the vaccination.<\/p>\n

Varnhagen works as an anaesthetic nurse and attended a protest against a South Australian government mandate requiring vaccinations for healthcare workers. She will be contracted to the club but won't be allowed to play.<\/p>\n
