Former President Barack Obama recruited some heavy hitters from the sports world to promote COVID-19 vaccines on Sunday.
Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal joined the 44th president on a video chat to encourage all eligible Americans to get vaccinated. As of Monday, every adult in America who wants a vaccine will be eligible to receive one.
After some banter with Obama announcing that he’s playing “Kenny the Jet” and jokes about Barkley’s golf game and gambling predilection, the trio got down to the business at hand.
Charles and @Shaq agree: we can all help end this pandemic by getting the COVID-19 vaccine. It’s the only way to keep everyone safe and help us get back to all the things we miss most—from seeing family and friends to watching sports in person. pic.twitter.com/y2DlprGPds
