Rosberg admitted at the time that he was infected with Covid, and since then has not received any dose against it. In this regard, the former Mercedes declared the following for Insider.com:

–

I got through COVID-19 well and have monstrous antibodies. I also get regular antibody tests. Under these circumstances, my doctor advised me that vaccination would not make any sense.

Nico Rosberg has recovered from a coronavirus infection and currently contains a recovery certificate. He regularly measures his antibody levels and, on the recommendation of his doctor, he does not need to be vaccinated. Similarly, he continues to comply with hygiene and prevention measures. He respects the rules of F1 and continues to fulfill his responsibilities as a commentator.

However, despite this, if F1 regulations remain this way, Rosberg won’t be able to be in the bowels of racing for the rest of the season.
