It is not known exactly what vaccine Trump and his wife received and how many doses of it. The former president urges to vaccinate quickly. He said in a speech at a political rally of American conservatives this weekend that the shot does not hurt.
The former Republican president from New York rarely showed himself with a face mask. He recovered from a corona infection after being admitted to a military hospital for several days. Trump tested positive for Covid-19 in early October.
Shortly afterwards, Trump said Americans should keep hope and that the corona pandemic in the United States would soon pass, while the numbers of infections were still rising in many states. Trump was critical of states that opted for a lockdown. According to him, entrepreneurs should be able to open their cases more quickly.
In the US, more than 514,000 people have now died from the effects of the corona virus, the highest recorded death toll in the world. This is followed by Mexico and Brazil, according to figures from John Hopkins University.
