This morning, you heard President Biden speak about the critical importance of the national security supplemental, which came to the President’s desk, as we said it would, with overwhelming bipartisan support from the U.S. I’ve stood at this podium numerous times and said, you know, the road may be full of twists and turns, I can’t predict exactly when it will happen, but I always had confidence it would happen. White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said at today's press briefing that "a time and place have not yet been determined," when asked where and when President Trump would meet with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.
Remarks by Vice President Harris Before a Roundtable Conversation on Second Chance Month
That’s the national security concern here. You know, President Biden spoke with Prime Minister Netanyahu a little more than two weeks ago. And others had told us the challenges of malnutrition and potential famine were most acute. Second, our allies, as the President said this morning, have been mobilizing in support of Ukraine alongside us. Just yesterday, the UK announced a significant new package of military aid for Ukraine, alongside major investments that they are making in their defense industrial base, putting their defense budget on a path to reach 2.5 percent of their GDP by the end of the decade. And the United States welcomes these moves from a stalwart ally.
A Proclamation on Workers Memorial Day, 2024
As to the Executive Office of the President — which I believe was your second question — we’ve already reached 99 percent of employees vaccinated — so, 99 percent vaccinated in the Executive Office of the President. We’re now up to 35,000 sites, so that continues to increase. We have one site for every 900 or so people in that age group — 5 to 11; that compares to one site per several thousand adults.
House passes foreign aid bills and bill that could ban TikTok
It’s — it’s a concern that majority of Americans have. And so, we want to see that move forward. And I think Mitch McConnell spoke for himself on that.
We want to make sure that it’s done in a way that we protect our national security and that we protect Americans. But as I’ve said before at this podium — and as you’ve heard from Secretary Austin, the Chairman, and other senior military officials — there is no silver bullet in this conflict. One capability is not going to be the ultimate solution.
When Russia began amassing troops on Ukraine’s borders, the President rallied the world to respond to Russia’s aggression. He built a broad coalition that flowed critical aid to Ukraine as the Ukrainian people defended themselves and then won the battle for Kyiv, the battle for Kharkiv, the battle for Kherson, and regained half the territory that Russia occupied since 2022. And so, finally, our booster vaccine regimens work against Omicron. At this point, there is no need for a variant-specific booster. Obviously, this is significantly down, but there is the maintaining of a degree of protection against hospitalization.
Press Briefing by White House COVID-19 Response Team and Public Health Officials
Since the start of this conflict, we’ve more than doubled our monthly production of 155. By the end of this year, we will have doubled it again. And as a result, we’re going to be able to provide, from our own production, steady and significant supplies of artillery to Ukraine. The bill makes important investments in our defense industrial base that will strengthen our own military.

So, I would hope, and I think there’s a reasonable chance, that the durability of protection following the third dose will be longer than the durability of protection that I just showed in one of my slides, where it waned after several months. If that’s the case, then we may not need to get boosted every six months or so. But if it does wane, which I hope it doesn’t, then we will address it.
Statement of President Joe Biden on the Passing of U.S. Congressman Donald Payne Jr.
And 95 percent of Americans, including kids as young as five, are now eligible for the protection of a vaccine. Already, the strong start to our boosters’ program has gotten enhanced protections to 36 million Americans, including nearly half of all eligible seniors, the most vulnerable population. Over 135 million individuals are now eligible for a booster shot, with tens of millions more becoming eligible over the coming months. This is a major step forward in our vaccination program that will help accelerate our work to put the pandemic behind us. The fact is that it’s going to take some time for us to dig out of the hole that was created by six months of delay before Congress passed the supplemental. These capabilities are going to start moving immediately to make up for lost time.
In other words, will we be looking out at a fourth shot or shots every six months or every year? And I’m wondering what the research shows and what your expectation is for that. As Jeff and Dr. Walensky have mentioned, the subject matter of this briefing are booster shots.
The seven-day average of hospital admissions is about 5,600 per day, about a 6 percent increase from the prior seven-day average. This is — the President wants to protect Americans. He w- — he wants to protect Americans’ privacy. He wants to protect Americans from coun- — a country, in this — in this instance, that wants to potentially do us harm. And that’s what he believes is important.
But the administration will be well represented at that event. And actually, as you know, just in the last couple of weeks, Ukraine has passed a new mobilization law. And, frankly, for those people — innocent civilians — who are not in Rafah, they too need and deserve shelter, support, food, medicine, and everything else.

We’ve secured enough supply of all three vaccines for booster shots for every adult, as well as for the half-million first and second shots we continue to get into arms each day. It is on- — not only related to Israel — because a study from the UK in people 50 years of age and older, when they compared a third shot to those who received the second shot, they looked at two types of vaccines. One was AstraZeneca, which is not relevant to the discussion now. But when you compared the protection of two doses of Pfizer-BioNTech to three, you went from 63 percent up to 94 percent.
WASHINGTON ― The White House on Friday condemned antisemitic remarks that surfaced this week from one of the leading student organizers of the pro-Palestinian encampment at Columbia University. So, we will continue to work with Moderna, Pfizer, J&J — the three U.S. manufacturers — to expand production and do all they can to help the world, because we don’t defeat this pandemic until we’ve defeated it both at home and across the globe. As part of the President’s plan to protect individuals and accelerate our path out of the pandemic, he announced in September that all federal employees would be required to be vaccinated. So, we are ready for more boosters and our pace will accelerate. Boosters are free and readily available at 80,000 locations across the country, including more than 40,000 local pharmacies. And as Dr. Walensky said — and I’ll underscore it — please enjoy the holidays.
Stepping back, there’s no question that we are headed into a very different Thanksgiving compared to last year, when millions of families were unable to celebrate the holiday together. And we’re well set up for the holiday travel season, with nearly 98 percent compliance at U.S. Customs and Border Protection, 93 percent at TSA, and 99 percent at the FAA.
This is referred to as a Kaplan-Meier curve. And it’s very easy to see what the data are. The red line is showing the cumulative incidence after two doses, and the greenish line shows what that cumulative incidence is after three doses. There is no doubt what the efficacy and real-world effectiveness of boosters are here. If you or your family members are not yet vaccinated, please consider the benefits of vaccination.
