Harris’ office announced she had been prescribed and had used Pfizer’s Paxlovid after a consultation with her doctors.

“She has been given Paxlovid. That’s something many Americans may be eligible for. They should also consult with their doctor. And I think overall, we’re just grateful that this is an approved drug on the market that many people can benefit from, including the vice president,” said the press secretary.

Harris had her two doses of the Moderna Covid-19 vaccine in January 2021. The vice president received her first booster dose in late October and a second booster vaccine on April 1.
