Biden urged all Americans to keep the country safe and get vaccinated soon to prevent the Covid-19 virus. He said, “The vaccines are safe, effective, free, easy, and our best tool to prevent more loss and pain. If you were fully vaccinated before mid-June, please go get your booster shot as soon as possible.” Earlier, the US government’s leading infectious diseases official, Anthony Fauci also urged Americans to get a Covid-19 booster shot.
