Olympic staff, volunteers vaccinated as Tokyo Games near

Thousands of Olympic volunteers and officials began receiving vaccines in Tokyo on Friday, five weeks before the Games, as experts warned it would be safest to hold the event without fans. With just over a month until the July 23 opening ceremony, organisers are in the home stretch and scrambling to finalise virus rules and get participants vaccinated in time. They also face a controversial and difficult decision over how many domestic fans, if any, will be in the stands for the pandemic-postponed Games.
