John Legend isn’t taking chances when it comes to keeping his family healthy.
In an interview with “CBS Mornings” Wednesday, the singer and father of four, 44, shared why he thinks it’s important to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
“I believe in making sure everyone in my family is protected,” he said. “The thing about the virus is, it changes, it mutates, and so it’s good to have vaccines that are updated.”
Legend partnered with vaccine maker Pfizer earlier this year to promote booster shots against Omicron variants. Now, just a month after the FDA and CDC signed off on updated COVID vaccines from Moderna and Pfizer, Legend is using his voice to encourage others to get the shots, which are retargeted for newer variants ahead of the fall virus season.
“I think what’s gonna happen in the future is we’re gonna have updates every year, just like we get a flu shot every year,” Legend added. “If you care about keeping your family healthy and keeping your family protected, I think getting the vaccine update is a great way to help do that.”
How to get the new COVID vaccine for free, with or without insurance Looking for the new COVID vaccine? Here’s where to get the shot FDA authorizes Novavax’s updated COVID vaccine for fall 2023 The new shots are similar to previously approved formulas, but were updated to target the XBB variants of the virus, which became dominant last winter.
“Updated COVID booster shots still provide the best protection we have against the disease, especially the most severe forms of COVID,” Emily Smith, a global health expert and author of “The Science of the Good Samaritan,” told CBS News in an email last month. “Even though we continue to have new variants of COVID pop up, the good news is that the updated booster shots still work against the current variants circulating, including the newest variants.”
The new COVID-19 shots come as health authorities are also promoting other new vaccines now available for RSV, or respiratory syncytial virus, in addition to the annual seasonal flu vaccine.

If this were true, someone in Hollywood would have leaked that out, at least with regards to the actors and actresses.
He is really taking a chance with those shots, but who knows, maybe he will “get lucky”!
I do recall someone on Joe Rogan’s podcast said that nobody in Hollywood is really vaccinated against COVID.
John Legend is taking BIG chances with himself and his family. If he is actually smart then one would almost have to conclude that he desires a smaller family.
We want you to John. Please, do so without delay!
Great, good for you John. Make sure your wife keeps steaming that vag too.
Oh man, that is gold!
He’s a “legend” in his own demented evil little mind.
John Legend’s lifelike doll Chrissy doesn’t need a vaxx...
He’s an idiot. So his his dingbat wife.
I guess he plans to take his whole family with him to an early grave. 😣
He’ll be dead by Christmas.
He is free to kill his family with that deadly vaccine. The only thing it’s effective for is to kill you—not protect you from COVID.
Legend is out there pushing the yes vote on Issue 1 in Ohio.
Married to a loud idiot I fail to find all that
Does he not understand that there are thousands of mutations at this point and any new vaccine is obsolete before it even comes out?
“The thing about the virus is, it changes, it mutates”
Yeah.
Like they say, ya never get the same cold twice.
/still laughing about how Alice Cooper stole the show from “ star” Legend
Bye John.
what with all that has come out about the vaxxes recently, he is a fool’s fool.
As is anyone still pushing this death shot.
