US President Joe Biden gets vaccinated in September

As India refuses to consider booster shots for Covid-19, the US is urging its citizens to get their boosters.

President Joe Biden has appealed for Americans to get their boosters and get behind his plan to tackle the new Omicron variant through wider availability of vaccines and shots, but without new major restrictions on daily life.

Biden wants to require private insurers to cover the cost of at-home COVID-19 tests and he is tightening testing requirements for people entering the United States, regardless of their vaccination status.
