President Donald Trump received his latest COVID-19 booster shot along with the annual flu vaccine on October 10, 2025, during a medical checkup at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. His White House physician, Dr. Sean Barbabella, reported that Trump remains in “exceptional health,” with a “cardiac age” estimated to be about 14 years younger than his actual age of 79. This health visit was part of his ongoing preventive care, conducted in preparation for upcoming international travel.
The COVID booster was given according to current CDC guidelines, which recommend the vaccine primarily for individuals aged 65 and older or those with underlying health conditions, now under a model of shared clinical decision-making. This is notable given the administration includes Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a well-known vaccine skeptic who has restricted vaccine availability.
Trump’s health updates come amid scrutiny surrounding his fitness, including a past diagnosis of chronic venous insufficiency and visible bruising. The White House highlighted the president’s robust cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurological, and physical condition, emphasizing his ability to maintain a demanding schedule without restrictions.
