“I know I don’t look like that, but I’m over 65 years old,” joked the 78-year-old in the White House on Monday while he was vaccinated in front of the camera. The US drug agency FDA approved corona booster vaccinations with the funds from BioNtech / Pfizer for the elderly and at risk groups last week. The second vaccination must have been at least six months ago.
Biden also had the first two vaccinations given publicly. His 70-year-old wife Jill will also get the third shot, Biden said. “I want to make it clear that booster vaccinations are important, but the most important thing is that more people get vaccinated,” Biden said. The vaccination campaign in the USA has clearly lost momentum in the past few months. So far, 55.3 percent of the population of around 330 million people there have been fully vaccinated against the coronavirus.
