Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) announced Monday that he has received his COVID-19 vaccine booster shot, calling it an "easy decision."
What he's saying: "Mountains of evidence tell us these shots are safe and effective. I continue to encourage all Americans to speak with their doctors and get vaccinated," McConnell tweeted.
The big picture: McConnell, who has been a staunch advocate for vaccines throughout the coronavirus pandemic, said he had followed the advice of experts and his doctors.
