White House says it is 'grateful' Trump got, promoted COVID-19 booster shot

The White House is grateful that former U.S. President Donald Trump received and promoted getting the COVID-19 vaccine booster shot, press secretary Jen Psaki said on Thursday. The Republican former president recently said in an interview that he received a booster shot, and called the COVID-19 vaccines 'one of the greatest achievements of mankind.' 'The ones that get very sick and go to the hospital are the ones that don't take the vaccine,' Trump said in an interview with conservative commentator Candace Owens. 'If you take the vaccine, you're protected.'
