And let me be absolutely clear: we have in hand all the vaccines we need to get every American fully vaccinated including the booster shot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo there\u2019s no excuse!\u201d he continued. \u201cNo excuse for anyone being unvaccinated. This continues to be a pandemic of the unvaccinated. So we gotta make more progress. And for patients who still haven\u2019t gotten your kids vaccinated, please get them vaccinated. Look out for their interests here. It\u2019s the best way to protect them. And for parents with kids who are too young to be vaccinated, surround your kids with people who are vaccinated. And make sure you\u2019re masking in public so you don\u2019t get COVID and give it to your kids.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden concluded by saying that the data had not suggested the Omicron variant was any worse for children than any of the previous variants had been.<\/p>\n<p>NBC\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KellyO\/status\/1478447717303132161\">Kelly O\u2019Donnell<\/a> reported via Twitter that as Biden ended the briefing, he declined to take any questions from the press. \u201cThe president declined to answer questions from the small number of journalists observing his remarks on COVID.
