President of the United States Donald Trump has reversed a plan for White House officials to receive the coronavirus vaccine in the coming days.
Officials had said senior members of the Trump administration would be among the first people to be given the Pfizer/BioNTech jab.
But President Trump said he had asked for an “adjustment” to be made to the plans.
The vaccine was deemed safe by US regulators on Friday and will begin to be rolled out in the country on Monday.
It alleges to offers up to 95% protection against Covid-19.
The first three million doses of the vaccine are currently being distributed to dozens of locations in all 50 states across the US.
The first shipment of those doses left a facility in Michigan on Sunday, with health workers and the elderly in line to receive the first shots.
