Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott declined to say if he has received the COVID-19 vaccine this week, adding that he believes people should "educate themselves" on what’s best for them. 

Prescott, 27, is the latest player in the league to take a similar approach toward the vaccine, telling KXAS in an interview on Tuesday that he doesn’t want to sway anyone either way.

"For me I think it’s important just for everybody to educate themselves on the reason of why to get vaccinated and why it can either help in their cause or maybe help the world but it’s not necessarily something I’d like to share or something I’d like to promote or say, ‘Hey, you should, you shouldn’t,'" Prescott said when asked if he’s been vaccinated.

"I don't play for the money anymore. My family has been taken care of. Fine me if you want. My way of living and my values are more important to me than a dollar," He said in a lengthy statement posted to Twitter. "I will be outside doing what I do. I’ll be out in public. If your [sic] scared of me then steer clear, or get vaccinated ... I may die of covid, but I’d rather die actually living."

Bills quarterback Josh Allen said in April that he was still "debating" on getting it or not and that a mandate would go "against what our Constitution says," adding that " Everybody should have that choice."

While the league has not mandated the vaccine, the updated policy virtually lifts all restrictions for vaccinated players while those who have not been vaccinated must abide by strict health protocols put into place during the pandemic.
