Former President Donald Trump never ended up getting his COVID-19 vaccine publicly before he left office — but he reportedly did so off camera.
At the Conservative Political Action Conference on Sunday, Trump encouraged supporters to get their COVID-19 vaccine, renewing questions over whether the former president has done so himself. Numerous officials, including former Vice President Mike Pence, got vaccinated on live television as part of an effort to demonstrate to Americans that it’s safe. Trump never did so.
But The New York Times‘ Maggie Haberman on Monday reported that according to an adviser, Trump actually did get vaccinated at the White House in January, as did former first lady Melania Trump, even though they didn’t say so publicly at the time. The report was confirmed by CNN and Axios. The Los Angeles Times‘ Chris Megerian noted it was “noteworthy that the former president didn’t do this publicly to boost public confidence in the vaccine.”
