To the Editor:
While many in the United States are choosing to reject or defer vaccination, U.S. citizens living overseas are desperately waiting to be included in President Biden’s promise to vaccinate all Americans. We need no special inducements. Many Americans live in countries where infections are rapidly escalating and no F.D.A.-approved vaccines are available, or where local governments prioritize their own citizens.
My husband, now 86, has underlying health conditions. Following a recent accident he can hardly walk. Flying to the United States for vaccination is not an option, even if the cost were not already prohibitive for a retiree living on Social Security.
