Members of the US Congress will be able to get vaccinated for Covid-19 with the distribution of the first tranche of vaccine doses, the congressional physician said on Thursday.
In a letter to members of Congress and their staff, Dr Brian Monahan said he had been notified by the White House's National Security Council that Congress "will be provided with a specific number of Covid-19 vaccine doses to meet long-standing requirements for continuity of government operations."
He said the "small number of Covid-19 vaccine doses reflects a fraction of the first tranche of vaccines as it is distributed throughout the country."
