Biden to receive second booster shot and announce launch of COVID.gov
CBSN
Washington — President Biden will receive his second COVID-19 booster shot on camera Wednesday, one day after the Food and Drug Administration authorized a new round of Moderna and Pfizer vaccine doses for Americans over 50.
Mr. Biden will get the shot after providing an update on the state of the pandemic and announcing the rollout of COVID.gov, a new website meant to help Americans access information on vaccines and treatments. A White House official described the website as a one-stop-shop for Americans' COVID-19 related needs.
Mr. Biden is one of the 34 million Americans now eligible to receive a second booster shot. The president will also highlight the administration's "test-to-treat" initiative that he announced in his State of the Union address, which has expanded to more than 2,000 sites nationwide. The program's goal is to get Americans tested and, if they are positive and need treatment, help them get a prescription filled in the same location.
