One one week after US President-elect Joe Biden received his vaccine ,United States Vice President-elect Kamala Harris has received the first dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine
. It was received live on television as part of efforts to build public trust in the inoculation and urged Americans to get vaccinated for the virus.
Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff were administered the vaccine at United Medical Center in Washington, DC.
“Let’s do it,” Harris said before she received her shot on Tuesday.
Describing the process as ‘relatively painless’, Harris urged all Americans to get vaccinated. “It’s about saving your life, the life of your family members, and the life of your community,” she said.
“I trust scientists. And it is the scientists who created and approved this vaccine. So I urge everyone, when it is your turn, get vaccinated.”
