President Biden and Barack Obama to join the NBC Vaccination Special

On Tuesday, the network and producer ATTN reported that President Joe Biden, along with former President Barack Obama, will join NBC’s Roll Up Your Sleeves vaccination special along with Michelle Obama and Lin-Manuel Miranda.

Earlier on March 19, NBC said the special aims to dispel concerns, provide information, and encourage those who are hesitant to receive a vaccine to participate.

The special will feature prominent public figures, comedians, artists, and performers, as well as frontline and medical professionals like Jennifer Lopez, Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley, and Billy Crystal on the Sunday, April 18 telecast to be hosted by Russell Wilson and Ciara.

“The ability to get people back to work and kids back in school, getting us reunited with family and friends and attending concerts, sporting events and many other activities we hold dear is contingent upon people getting vaccinated,” said Matthew Segal, the Co-Founder of ATTN: “At ATTN, we believe in the power of entertainment to inform audiences, and we’re thrilled to partner with NBC, Civic Nation, Walgreens and many great public figures and performers to get out this critical message.”

Matthew McConaughey will interview Dr. Anthony Fauci on the special, which aims to raise awareness and encourage the American public to get vaccinated to put an end to the Covid-19 pandemic.”
