Four living ex-presidents appear this week in new announcements encouraging Americans to take COVID-19 vaccines.
In a one-minute post released Wednesday by the Ad Council, former Presidents Carter, Clinton, Bush and Obama called on U.S. residents to inoculate themselves when they can in an effort to end the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
“This vaccine means hope. It will protect you and those you love from this dangerous and deadly disease, “Obama said in the ad, titled” It’s Up to You. “

Some of the former presidents also shared what they expected when the pandemic ended in the announcement.
Clinton said she plans to “go back to work” and “be able to move,” while Obama said he wants to see Michelle Obama’s mother and “hug her and see her birthday.”
Bush shared that he wants to go “to the opening day at Texas Rangers Stadium with a full stadium.”
“We’ve lost enough people and suffered enough damage,” Clinton said in the ad.
In a second announcement released Wednesday, Clinton, Bush and Obama again called on Americans to get vaccinated, calling vaccines the “first step to ending the pandemic and advancing our country.”
“Science is clear,” Bush said in Wednesday’s video. “These vaccines will protect you and those you love from this dangerous and deadly disease.”
“They could save your life,” Clinton added.
