A teenager receives the Covid-19 vaccine in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan in the US today
US schoolboy Harrison Hunger, 14, received his Covid shot at a clinic in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, today and now has pastries on his mind.
Asked what he plans to do first, the teen doesn't skip a beat: "Probably go to Krispy Kreme, because they are offering free donuts to people with one of these," he said showing off his vaccine card.
The campaign to immunise America's 17 million adolescents aged 12-to-15 kicked off in full force today, a key part of President Joe Biden's strategy to push the country close to herd immunity.
