Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar and U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams joined faculty and administrators of George Washington University Hospital on Monday as the first doses of the facility’s initial coronavirus vaccine doses were administered, with Azar urging Americans not to let their guard down against the disease.
“We’re here today because of the extraordinary medical achievement our country has delivered this week through President Trump’s ‘Operation Warp Speed,’” HHS Secretary Azar said while speaking at the “National Ceremonial COVID-19 Vaccination Kick Off Event.” “Today health care providers across America are going to work to administer vaccines to those most vulnerable, and their coworkers.”
WASHINGTON, D.C. â U.S. Rep. Rob Bishop is out of the hospital after suffering a minor stroke and, while slowed, is getting back into action.
Heâs using a walker, he said, and anticipates needing physical therapy to help mend his body, impacted mainly on the right side. Whatever the case, he expects to recuperate.
âI will need some physical therapy so my mind can finally tell my leg what to do and it will do it again,â Bishop, 69, said Friday in an interview with the Standard-Examiner. âI expect that within a matter of weeks, maybe months, to come back.â
