Former President Barack Obama said a lack of legal immigration status is still preventing some individuals from going to get the COVID-19 vaccine.

"We've seen in the past and even in the present, folks worried about what their legal status is maybe affecting their willingness to seek out help, and that creates an environment in which it's hard to run some of these campaigns.
