Some U.S. government officials will be offered coronavirus vaccines as soon as this week. This includes some White House officials who work in close proximity to President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence.
Sources confirmed the newly approved vaccine will be made available to those who work in close quarters with the nation's top elected officials. This is to prevent more COVID-19 spread in the White House, according to the sources.Â
Public distribution is limited to front-line health workers and those in nursing home and long-term care facilities.Â
