Captain Bo Horvat, in an article with Iain MacIntyre, says that everyone should get vaccinated. This, of course, comes after a major COVID outbreak among the team last season.

Not saying, just saying. Bo Horvat wants all #Canucks to be vaccinated.

“I've had COVID before and it's no joke. This vaccine works and it's helping people not get sick. Hopefully guys realize that and go get vaccinated -- for everybody's safety.”

Thanks to Bo for his leadership on and off the ice.
Let’s all get vaccinated and put COVID-19 behind us. https://t.co/fZMhwghTnr
