WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden will get the updated Covid-19 shot Tuesday after he delivers remarks about the pandemic and the administration’s efforts to get people in the U.S. boosted, a White House official said.
It has been more than three months since Biden contracted the coronavirus, which is how long health experts recommend waiting before getting another shot.
The White House is focused on reaching those at the highest risk of infection, including senior citizens.
Top Biden administration officials have warned in recent weeks about a possible winter surge, particularly as more people head indoors.
The White House Covid -19 coordinator, Dr. Ashish Jha, has stressed that timing is also a key factor, pushing people to ideally get their boosters before Halloween to have the best protection possible by the holidays.
