Rodrigo is doing her part in the push to get young people vaccinated. On Wednesday, the rising pop star stopped by the White House to deliver a message to the youth, encouraging them to be "happy and healthy" by getting the Covid-19 vaccine.

Her visit comes one day after President Joe Biden straight up posted a thirst trap on the official POTUS Instagram: a picture of his younger self, which had one user asking if his DMs were open. "I know this young person would’ve gotten vaccinated, but we've got to get other young people protected as well. Who's willing to help?" Biden captioned the photo.

Clearly, this was a task Rodrigo was up for, and her presence at the White House proves just that.

Following a heartfelt introduction by Press Secretary Jen Psaki, the 18-year-old started her one-minute speech by praising the work done by President Biden and Dr. Anthony Fauci in getting people vaccinated. She also thanked them for including her in "this important initiative".

Rodrigo continued to talk about the importance of having conversations with your loved ones about getting vaccinated, and stressed taking action to get to a vaccination site, something she said was "easier than ever before".

The Good 4 U singer's work has only just begun. Variety cited a White House official who said the star intends to continue the conversation by "record[ing] videos about the importance of young people getting vaccinated, including answering important questions young people have about getting vaccinated."

These videos will be shared on both Rodrigo and the White House's social media profiles.
