President Biden received his fourth dose of the COVID-19 vaccine Wednesday and announced the launch of informational website COVID.gov — as he urges Congress to pass billions of dollars in fresh pandemic funds.
A White House doctor administered Biden’s shot after the president gives remarks in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building at 1:30 p.m.
The Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday approved a second vaccine “booster” shot for people age 50 and up, but warned that there may not be enough for the general public if the age threshold is lowered.
