The head of the Trump administration’s immunization program said other people inflamed with the coronavirus, an organization that includes President Donald Trump, should get vaccinated.
Moncef Slaoui, Operation Warp Speed lead adviser, told CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday that the vaccine is for those who have recovered and provides more potent and potentially more protection. more than the virus itself.

“We know that the infection does not cause a very strong immune reaction and that it diminishes with time. So I think that, as a precaution, it is appropriate to receive the vaccine because it is safe,” he said. “I think other people get vaccinated, actually. “
Trump did not get the first of two vaccines, which began last week as a component of the largest vaccination crusade in the country’s history. Vice President Mike Pence, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-California, and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky all won doses on Friday. President-elect Joe Biden must get his Monday.
They have all chosen to publicize their injections as part of a crusade to convince skeptical audiences that vaccines are safe and effective, in the hope of ending a pandemic that has killed more than 310,000 people across the states. . -United and turned life around the world.
Trump has spent the past week largely out of sight as he continues to mistrust his electoral defeat and launches outlandish plans to stay in power. It’s a technique that has baffled key attendees who see his silence as a missed opportunity for the president, who will resign Jan. 20, to claim credit for helping to oversee the immediate progression of the vaccine and fine-tuning his heritage.
Trump was hospitalized by COVID-19 in October and won an experimental remedy for monoclonal antibodies to which he attributed his immediate recovery.
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, which was the first to be licensed, “is and most likely effective” in other people inflamed with COVID-19 and “It must present despite a history of symptomatic or asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection. “
Although there is no minimum waiting time between infection and vaccination, since reinfection is rare within 3 months of a person’s infection, the committee said other people tested positive in the past 90 days ” they can delay vaccination until the end of this period. . , if desired. “
Advisers also advised that those who won the kind of remedy Trump followed will delayed vaccination for at least 90 days to avoid possible interference.
“Currently, there is no knowledge about the protection and effectiveness of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine in other people who have gained monoclonal antibodies or convalescent plasma as a component of the COVID-19 remedy,” they wrote, recommending that vaccination “be postponed. for at least 90 days, as a precautionary measure until more data is available, to avoid interference of the antibody remedy with the immune responses induced through the vaccine. “
Trump, who in the afterlife has spread false data on vaccine risks, previously tweeted earlier this month that he is “not making plans to get vaccinated, but is looking to do so at the right time. “The White House said it is still in talks with its medical team about when it should do so.
“When the time comes, I’m sure you’ll be willing to settle for that,” White House spokesman Brian Morgenstern said Friday. “It’s anything we’re running into. “
Surgeon General Jerome Adams echoed that argument in CBS’s “Face the Nation” when asked if Trump planned to get the picture on camera to dispel considerations about his safety, especially among Republicans.
“From a clinical point of view, I will remind others that the president has had a COVID in the last 90 days. He won the monoclonal antibodies. And it’s a situation where we tell other people that maybe you deserve to be waiting for cancun, contact your fitness service provider to find the right time,” Adams said.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the country’s leading infectious disease specialist, have Trump publicly vaccinated without delay.
“Although the president himself has become inflamed and has antibodies that would be protective, we don’t know how long this coverage will last, so to be doubly sure, I would propose that it be vaccinated,” he told ABC News. .
