Washington State coach Nick Rolovich's vaccine stance has become PR problem for hospital
Sitting behind a backdrop of advertisements for a prominent local hospital, Washington State football coach Nick Rolovich once again tried to parry questions about his stance on the COVID-19 vaccine.
“I’m not going to talk about that,” Rolovich said Monday.
A local reporter had asked him whether he received or scheduled his vaccine shot amid vaccine mandates for WSU students and state employees.
In response, Rolovich deflected as he has done since announcing in July that he elected not to get vaccinated “for reasons which will remain private.”
But this time something stuck out: Those advertisements for that hospital – Pullman Regional Hospital – made it seem even more awkward in terms of public messaging, marketing experts said. Pullman Regional Hospital is an official sponsor of WSU athletics and has invested in having its name attached to the program, in this case with logos all over the background behind the coach during his news conference.

In addition people who want to attend a WSU home game are required to show proof of vaccination.
