Edmonton Elks offensive lineman SirVincent Rogers confirms positive COVID-19 test

EDMONTON — Offensive lineman SirVincent Rogers of the Edmonton Elks confirmed Tuesday he’s tested positive for COVID-19.

“I tested positive days ago for Covid, & the reservation I initially had about the vaccines has changed,” Rogers tweeted. “Personally, I have only had minor symptoms… (nasal congestion, smell/taste was off, a bit sluggish, no pain, and no fever).”

Rogers also said he decided in May to receive two doses of the Pfizer vaccine.

“I did so to protect myself, my family, & anyone else I’d encounter,” Rogers said. “I urge anyone in doubt to consider the vaccines from a viewpoint of protection from Covid, not prevention.
