President Joe Biden is planning on getting his COVID-19 booster shot on camera.
At the daily White House press briefing on Monday (September 20), Press Secretary Jen Psaki confirmed that the president would get a third shot now that the Food and Drug Administration had recommended it for people 65 and older.

“He will do so, and he will do so on camera,” she told reporters. “I don’t have a date for you exactly.”
A third shot is being recommended for vaccinated Americans who are 65 and older, as well as those who are at a higher risk for serious illness from COVID-19. Teachers and healthcare workers who could possibly be exposed to the virus at work were also recommended boosters.
The Biden administration announced that vaccinated Americans should get a booster shot eight months after being fully inoculated back in August.
“The available data make very clear that protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection begins to decrease over time following the initial doses of vaccination, and in association with the dominance of the delta variant, we are starting to see evidence of reduced protection against mild and moderate disease,” the CDC said in a statement.
Jen also said at the press briefing that the president is regularly tested for the coronavirus. “He was tested last week,” she said, “and his test was negative.”
