President Biden is receiving his third dose of the Pfizer/BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine at the White House during an on-camera event, just days after the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended the booster dose for certain Americans.

"Like I did in my first and second Covid-19 vaccination shot, I'm about to get my booster shot and do it publicly," Biden said before receiving the shot.

The CDC approved Pfizer boosters for people 65 and older, people in long-term care facilities, some people with underlying health conditions and adults at increased risk of Covid-19 because of their jobs.

Biden, who is 78 years old, said last week he planned to get his third dose soon.

“Hard to acknowledge I’m over 65, but I’ll be getting my booster shot,” Biden said on Friday.

The President received his first two doses of the Covid-19 vaccine ahead of his inauguration in January.

"It was an easy decision": McConnell announces he got a Covid-19 booster today​

Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell announced in Senate floor remarks on Monday that he just received his Covid-19 booster.
“I’m glad to share that a few minutes ago I received a booster vaccination for Covid-19,” he said.

“It was an easy decision to receive a booster. I’m a survivor of childhood polio from before vaccines eradicated that disease here in our country and around the world so I’ve been a lifelong champion of vaccinations," McConnell said on the Senate floor.

“Like I’ve been saying for months, these safe and effective vaccines are the way to defend ourselves and our families from this terrible virus. They’re also how we stay on offense against Covid as a country. All Americans should speak with their doctors and get vaccinated,” he said.

McConnell's announcement came only hours after President Biden received a Covid-19 booster on camera at the White House.

"We know that to beat this pandemic and to save lives ... we need to get folks vaccinated," Biden said during remarks ahead of his shot. "So, please, please do the right thing. Please get these shots. It can save your life and it can save the lives of those around you."

老人可以打加强。一是老人免疫力差，需要保护。二是无需担心长期副作用。老白老康这个年纪，随时都会挂了。

加拿大大多数是5-7月打的疫苗，现在应当是抗体浓度比较高的时候，即使是老弱病也可以再坚持一个月再加强。

很多青壮年，可以跳过，明年再说了。
