US President Donald Trump suggested that senior White House officials would wait longer for Covid-19 vaccines hours after media outlets reported senior officials were to receive doses within 10 days.

Trump said on Twitter he had asked for an “adjustment” to be made to the plans to vaccinate White House officials, according to Reuters.

“People working in the White House should receive the vaccine somewhat later in the programme, unless specifically necessary,” Trump wrote, adding: “I am not scheduled to take the vaccine, but look forward to doing so at the appropriate time.”
