President Biden receives second booster, says more COVID-19 funding is needed
President Joe Biden received his second COVID-19 booster shot on Wednesday after giving a speech urging Congress to pass emergency COVID funding to keep up the fight against the virus.
Before receiving his booster on camera, the president gave a speech asking Congress to pass a $22.5 billion emergency COVID-19 bill to help fund future COVID-19 research, testing, vaccines and treatments.
The request comes as experts warn the United States could experience another surge as the BA.2 Omicron emerges as the dominant variant across the country.
Biden received his second booster a day after the CDC updated its vaccine guidelines for those over 50 years old, recommending a second booster four months after receiving the first one. The change was made after researchers found the effectiveness of the booster shot began to decrease after three to six months.
The president also announced the White House had launched covid.gov, a one-stop website where Americans can obtain information about COVID in their areas, as well as where to receive vaccines, treatment and testing.
