Pop star Olivia Rodrigo, 18, will be at the White House on Wednesday as the administration brings in some star power to help get COVID vaccine shots in the arms of younger Americans.
The actress, singer and songwriter will meet President Joe Biden and Dr. Anthony Fauci, the president's chief medical officer who has become a popular public figure during the pandemic.
During her visit Rodrigo will 'record videos about the importance of young people getting vaccinated, including answering important questions young people have about getting vaccinated,' a White House official said.
The White House has ramped up its efforts to shots in the arms of 18- to 29-year-olds, the age group that has the lowest vaccination rate.
Rodrigo, a Disney star with a popular singing career among young people, is part of that effort.
The videos she records at the White House will be posted on her own social media channels - where she has more than 28 million followers - and on the White House accounts.
'The Good for You' singer announced her visit to the White House by commenting on one of Biden's Instagram posts on Tuesday morning.
