President Donald Trump is indicating he will get the COVID-19 vaccine at some point but has no plans yet to do so.
“I am not scheduled to take the vaccine, but look forward to doing so at the appropriate time,” Trump tweeted late Sunday. “Thank you!”
He also noted that “people working in the White House should receive the vaccine somewhat later in the program, unless specifically necessary. I have asked that this adjustment be made.”
The president’s remarks regarding White House staffers comes shortly after The New York Times reported that Trump planned to have senior White House staffers receive the COVID-19 vaccine in the next few days.
The Times reports, citing two sources, that the policy — before Trump changed it — was that White House staffers who work closely with the president were told they would get the vaccine soon.
