US President Joe Biden received a Covid-19 vaccine booster and stated that Americans still resisting the shots that they are damaging the country.
According to the reports, US President Joe Biden rolled up his left sleeve in the White House and got a third Pfizer dose in line with the recently approved health guidance, which allows boosters for those 65 or older.
Biden later joked that he knows that it doesn’t look like but he is over 65. He got his first shot on December 21 and his second dose three weeks later, on January 11, along with his wife, Jill Biden.
The report further added that eligible for boosters are adults with high-risk medical conditions and those in jobs where they are frequently exposed to the virus. Biden stated that it is a significant chunk of Americans continue to refuse even one shot of the vaccine, fueling a deadly nationwide surge of the Delta variant. He added that 77 per cent of Americans had got vaccines but this wasn’t enough, with still nearly a quarter refusing.
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. While the vast majority of cases continue to occur among unvaccinated people, regulators pointed to evidence from Israel and early studies in the U.S. showing that protection against so-called breakthrough cases was vastly improved by a third dose of the Pfizer shot.
