Biden on Wednesday cast getting vaccinated as a patriotic duty, urging all Americans over age 16 to protect themselves and help protect those in their communities from getting the coronavirus and putting their lives at risk.
“No matter what your age, no matter what your health history, until you are fully vaccinated, you are still vulnerable. The vaccine can save your life,” Biden said in remarks from the White House. “Vaccines can save your own life, but they can also save your grandmother’s life, your co-worker’s life, the grocery store clerk or the delivery person helping you and your neighbors get through the crisis.”
