President Biden said booster shots to bolster immunity against the coronavirus would be free and accessible to those who meet guidelines
"Like your first and second shot. The booster shot is free and easily accessible," Biden said at the White House.
"Listen to the voices of the unvaccinated Americans who are lying in hospital beds, taking their final breaths, saying... 'If only I got vaccinated,'" Biden said. "People are dying and will die who don't have to die." Biden had called for booster shots against the novel coronavirus to begin this week for all people once they were eight months out from vaccination, pending regulators' approval.
