President Biden Receives His COVID-19 Booster Shot
Newsy
The president got his third shot of the Pfizer vaccine just days after the CDC and FDA approved booster shots for millions of Americans.
President Joe Biden received his COVID-19 booster shot on Monday, days after federal regulators recommended a third dose of the Pfizer vaccine for Americans age 65 or older and approved them for others with preexisting medical conditions and high-risk work environments.
President Biden, 78, got his first shot on Dec. 21 and his second dose three weeks later, along with his wife, Jill Biden. The president said the first lady, who's 70, would also receive the booster dose, but she was teaching on Monday at Northern Virginia Community College, where she is a professor of English.
Biden emerged as a champion of booster doses in the summer, as the U.S. experienced a sharp rise in coronavirus cases from the more transmissible Delta variant.
