In August 2021, Deion Sanders, then head coach of Jackson State football, appeared in a social media public service announcement (PSA) urging Mississippi residents to get the COVID-19 vaccine. As spokesperson for sponsor Walmart, which hosted a free on-campus vaccine clinic from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday, August 20, Sanders aimed to vaccinate his team, staff, and students to "preserve life" and enable success. He confirmed being vaccinated "for quite a long time" and stated, "One thing about this vaccination, it preserves life. I want a chance to win... How am I going to do that if I'm not here?"
