The White House released a memo saying President Donald Trump received a Covid booster and flu shot during a scheduled follow-up at Walter Reed, where his physician reported “exceptional” health and labs, including a cardiac age about 14 years younger, assessed via electrocardiogram. The checkup, part of his ongoing maintenance plan, comes as Trump, 79, prepares for Middle East travel after helping secure an Israel-Hamas ceasefire. It also follows a CDC shift narrowing Covid shot recommendations, approved by acting director Jim O’Neill after Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. overhauled the vaccine advisory panel.
