Both President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris should be vaccinated ahead of entering the Oval Office in January, Dr. Fauci said.
“For security reasons, I really feel strongly that we should get them vaccinated as soon as we possibly can,” Dr. Fauci said. “You want him fully protected as he enters into the presidency.”
While President Trump recovered from an earlier COVID-19 infection and likely has antibodies, it’s not clear how long that protection lasts, Dr. Fauci said.
“To be doubly sure, I would recommend that he get vaccinated as well as the Vice President,” Dr. Fauci said.
