President Joe Biden called on Americans five years and up to get a dose of an “updated” COVID-19 booster, recommending the vaccine “once a year” as he received a dose of the newly authorized shot on Tuesday.

“For Americans over five years of age who are fully vaccinated, our nation’s health experts recommend that they get the updated COVID vaccine once a year,” Biden told a press conference in Washington.
