Watch Live: Biden gets COVID-19 booster shot after authorization

Washington — President Biden is getting his COVID-19 vaccine booster shot on Monday, after public health officials recommended boosters for many Americans, including those 65 and older. 

Mr. Biden, 78, is getting his third shot on camera at the White House, where he will also deliver remarks Monday afternoon. 

The Food and Drug Administration granted an emergency use authorization last week for booster doses of Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine six months after the completion of the two-dose course for those 65 and older, those with some underlying conditions and those who work in high-risk environments. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also recommended a booster shot for those groups of people.
