A South Dakota lawmaker is asking his constituents to decide when he should receive the COVID-19 vaccine
Rep. Dusty Johnson, South Dakota’s lone member of the US House of Representatives, on Friday asked his constituents to vote in a poll to decide whether he got early access to the COVID-19 vaccine or should wait until it’s more widely available.
“We have the COVID-19 vaccine, and that’s a critically important development in the fight against the pandemic,” Johnson, a Republican, said in a video posted to Twitter on Friday. “Now the attending physician of the House has made the vaccine available to members of Congress. I will get the vaccine but the question is when.”
