Santa Claus Was Safe To Travel, He Got The COVID-19 Vaccine

Published December 25, 2020 at 5:25 AM CST

NOEL KING, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Noel King. How is Santa going to stay safe delivering presents during a pandemic? Well, Dr. Anthony Fauci told CNN he took care of that weeks ago.

(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)

ANTHONY FAUCI: I took a trip up there to the North Pole. I went there, and I vaccinated Santa Claus myself. He is good to go.

KING: Dr. Fauci says he gave Santa and the reindeer, obviously, the green light to fly the sleigh all over the world to deliver presents. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
