The 80-year-old Biden also had “several weeks ago” the new vaccine against the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), which is responsible for infections that can prove especially dangerous for babies and the elderly.
US health authorities recommend that all Americans over the age of 60 get vaccinated against RSV. Last week they also approved an updated version of vaccines against Covid-19 from the companies Pfizer and Moderna, which targets the variants of the coronavirus that are currently circulating.
