White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre often seems to be her own worst enemy. On Friday, for example, she urged people to get vaccine boosters while doing Christmas shopping.
‘From buying a special something for yourself to getting your updated COVID and flu vaccines, take care of yourself this holiday season,’ she tweeted
Updated boosters rolled out by Pfizer and rival Moderna in September have been a hard sell for vaccine-weary Americans. Only about 13 percent of U.S. adults so far have gotten a ‘bivalent’ shot that targets the omicron strain and the original coronavirus.
