U.S. President Joe Biden received his third dose of the Pfizer/BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine on Monday at the White House.

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.

"On Wednesday I'll be traveling to Chicago to talk about why it's so important that more businesses are instituting their own vaccine requirements," he said just before receiving his booster dose of the Pfizer vaccine.

This comes just days after the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended the booster dose for certain Americans.

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.

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

The American President, who is 78 years old, said last week he planned to get his third dose soon. He received his second dose of the vaccine in January, shortly before taking office.
