Former US president Donald Trump was heckled on Sunday after confirming he received the Covid-19 booster shot.

The incident occurred as Mr Trump appeared on stage with conservative talk show host Bill O'Reilly during an appearance in Dallas, Texas.

Mr O'Reilly asked Mr Trump if he had received the booster and Mr Trump responded yes.

Jeers erupted off-camera and Mr Trump tried to wave them off, characterizing the hecklers as "a very tiny group".

But he was cheered by the crowd after saying no one should be forced to get the booster and adding: "No mandates."

In August, Mr Trump was booed by the crowd at a rally in Cullman, Alabama, when he called on his supporters to get vaccinated.

While in office, Mr Trump rejected calls from public health officials to get vaccinated publicly but subsequently confirmed he and his wife Melania had received the vaccine.
