The Bidens plan to get Covid-19 vaccine booster shots once they are cleared to take them, the President says.
The Biden administration announced on Wednesday that Americans will be able to get Covid-19 vaccine booster shots starting on September 20, subject to authorization from the US Food and Drug Administration and sign off from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Individuals would become eligible for their booster shot eight months after their second shot of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines.
"We're gonna get the booster shots," Biden said."And-- it's somethin' that I think-- you know, because ... we got our shots all the way back in I think, December. So ... it's past time."The announcement on Wednesday came after months of public health officials saying that Covid-19 vaccine booster shots were not needed, but could be possible in the future.
