Biden calls on US to expand vaccinations, boosters to fight surge
Washington | US President Joe Biden called on health providers to expand the availability of coronavirus vaccines and booster shots, aiming to combat a winter surge of infections -- and hold off the new omicron variant.
Biden outlined a new strategy to curb the pandemic in a speech at the National Institutes of Health on Thursday (Friday AEDT), with cases rising in several states. He said his administration would also make free home COVID-19 tests more available by requiring insurers to pay for them starting next month.
