Table of Contents
President Donald Trump received a Covid-19 and flu vaccine during his visit to Walter Reed Medical Center this Friday, his doctor reported in a memo published by the white House.
Vaccination Details
“In preparation for his upcoming international trip, President Trump also received preventive health screenings and vaccinations, including the annual flu shot and updated Covid-19 booster shot,” wrote the president’s physician, Dr. Sean Barbabella.
Current CDC Recommendations
The CDC has shifted its guidance, dropping the general suggestion for vaccination against Covid-19. Individuals who wish to get vaccinated should now consult with a healthcare professional for a process known as shared clinical decision-making. Importantly, a prescription is not required to receive the vaccine.
Additional Health report
Dr. Barbabella also noted, without providing supporting evidence, that the president’s “heart age” is 14 years younger than his current age of 79.
