Donald Trump and his wife, Melania, were vaccinated for COVID-19 in private during their last days in the White House in January, even as other leaders tried to set an example by getting their vaccines in public.Multiple sources told CBS News, CNN, Axios and The New York Times about the vaccinations over the weekend, after the former president urged Republicans to get the vaccine in his speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).
Polls have shown that vaccine hesitancy is more common among Republicans.“Everyone should go get your shot,” Trump said on Sunday.
