Members of the White House staff who work closely with President Trump will reportedly receive vaccines for the coronavirus before the vaccines are available to much of the general public.

White House staff will be vaccinated with healthcare workers and other high-risk individuals in order to prevent any more government officials from contracting COVID-19 before Trump leaves office, according to the New York Times. Eventually, everyone in the White House will be vaccinated, but shots will be administered to seniormost members first.
