US President Joe Biden received his second COVID-19 booster shot on March 30, immediately after announcing the launch of government website – covid.gov – where US residents can find resources relating to Covid-19 in their area. “Covid-19 no longer controls our lives […] but now, thanks to the foundation we’ve laid, America has the tools to protect people, all people,” Biden said in a speech at the White House. “No longer will Americans have to scour the internet to find vaccines, treatments, tests or masks; it’s all there,” he said. Visitors to the “one-stop shop” website could also find data on the spread of the virus in their area, and directions to sites where they could find treatment, said Biden. The president also urged Congress to “act immediately” to approve more funding for the government’s pandemic response efforts, saying the consequences of not doing so were “severe”. “This isn’t partisan, it’s medicine,” Biden said. After finishing his speech, Biden stepped to the side of the stage and received an injection from a medical professional. Credit: The White House via Storyful
