Trump in ‘Exceptional Health’ After Walter Reed Visit, Doctor Says

President Trump, 79, received a COVID-19 booster and flu shot as part of routine health maintenance before upcoming international travel, his physician said.

  • On Oct 10, 2025, President Donald Trump received a COVID vaccine booster and flu shot at Walter Reed Medical Center, Dr. Sean P. Barbarella said in a memo.
  • Described as a scheduled follow-up, the visit was part of Trump’s ongoing health maintenance and included immunizations in preparation for upcoming international travel, Barbarella said.
  • Medical notes show the visit included advanced imaging, laboratory testing, and Dr. Sean P. Barbarella said Trump’s labs were exceptional with a cardiac age 14 years younger.
  • The timing coincided with the administration firing dozens of "disease detectives" from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, prompting surprise from social media commentators noting the timing.
  • Following agency shake-ups, the CDC has shifted toward shared clinical decision-making for COVID immunization after Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. overhauled the vaccine advisory panel.
