“We’ll be getting it long after everybody who truly needs to get it,” he told Today‘s Samantha Guthrie.
“Yes, we had it, and it was a tough couple of 10 days, but I think [what] was much more important is the second half of the COVID-19 formula: We didn’t give it to anybody.”
“We wear masks, and we still do—not just so we don’t catch it, but so that you don’t give it to somebody in case you’re one of those asymptomatic carriers.”
When Guthrie asked him if he’d be willing to get the vaccine on camera when it’s his turn, however, Hanks was purely enthusiastic: “Yeah, sure!”
