According to a White House official and similar person, senior White House officials are to receive some of the first COVID-19 vaccines in America. CNN reported that vaccines, which could begin later this week, will arrive at a time of limited supplies and only available to high-risk healthcare frontline workers.

For the first time, the New York Times reported on White House COVID-19 vaccinations. The other parts of the Trump administration will also get vaccinations later. However, the president said that somewhat later, unless necessary, the White House staff members should get the vaccination.

National Security Council spokesman John Ullyot stated that senior officials from all three branches of government will receive the vaccine in accordance with the official protocol set forth in the executive policy. Moreover, all citizens should be confident in receiving the same safe and effective vaccines as senior US government officials on the advice of health professionals and national security leadership.
