Former Democratic presidential candidate and Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) said members of Congress under the age of 65 should wait to get the COVID-19 vaccine until those who are older and the most vulnerable receive it first.

“Members of Congress like me, we can get the vaccine before at-risk seniors,” she said, adding that there are others—like the elderly or people with health conditions—who need it more.
