    Former U.S. President Barack Obama surprised a group of children on Tuesday when he stopped by a vaccination clinic taking place at Kimball Elementary School in Southeast D.C.

    Obama was joined by Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s leading infectious disease expert. 

    The two spoke to children and parents at a vaccination clinic at Kimball Elementary School.

    “Nobody really loves getting a shot,” Obama said. “I don’t love getting a shot. But I do it because it’s going to help keep me healthy.”

    “Getting our kids fully vaccinated is the best way to protect them against COVID-19, the former president said. “Dr. Fauci and I stopped by Kimball Elementary School to meet with families and kids getting their vaccines—and encourage more parents and kids to do the same.”

    “It’s also going to help keep schools open because the more kids are vaccinated, the less likely that we’re going to have a covid outbreak in the schools,” he said. “And that means our kids have a chance to learn together and socialize — you know, do all the things that you’re supposed to be doing when you’re 5 or 6 or 7 or 11.”

    “Shots are never fun, but the kids I met at Kimball Elementary knew how important the COVID-19 vaccines are to keep our families and communities safe,” the former president said after his visit to the vaccination clinic at Kimball Elementary School in D.C.

    Vaccinations for children between 5 and 11 years old began nationwide early last month after the Food and Drug Administration gave emergency-use authorization of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for that age group on Oct. 29 and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention made a formal recommendation four days later.
