Biden says getting vaccinated 'gigantically important'
CINCINNATI, Ohio (AP) â President Joe Biden expressed pointed frustration Wednesday over the slowing COVID-19 vaccination rate in the U.S. and pleaded that it's "gigantically importantâ for Americans to step up and get inoculated against the virus as it surges once again.
Biden, speaking at a televised town hall in Cincinnati, said the public health crisis has turned largely into a plight of the unvaccinated as the spread of the delta variant has led to a surge in infections around the country.
âWe have a pandemic for those who havenât gotten the vaccination â itâs that basic, that simple,â he said on the CNN town hall.
