WASHINGTON: President Joe Biden says he and his wife will get a COVID-19 booster shot, following their first two doses in December.
The president told ABC’s “Good Morning America” that it’s “past time” for him to get a booster.
US health officials announced Wednesday recommendations that Americans who received the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine get a booster shot eight months after their second dose.
US health officials say it is “very clear” the vaccines’ protection against infections wanes over time.
They announced plans to dispense COVID-19 booster shots to all Americans to shore up their protection against the surging delta variant.
The doses could begin the week of September 20.
