  • The US Vice President-elect Kamala Harris has received the first dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine live on television as part of efforts to build public trust in the inoculation process

  • "Let's do it," Harris said before she received her shot on Tuesday.

    Harris described the process as "relatively painless."

    She added, "It's about saving your life, the life of your family members, and the life of your community."

    "I trust scientists who created and approved this vaccine. So I urge everyone, when it is your turn, get vaccinated," Harris said.

  • Earlier, US President-elect Joe Biden and his wife, Jill Biden, received their first doses of the Pfizer-BioNtech coronavirus vaccine on December 21 at Christiana Hospital in Newark, Delaware.

    Current Vice President Mike Pence was administered the vaccine at an on-camera event the week prior to Biden.

    Biden and Harris staggered their vaccinations at the recommendation of medical experts, according to transition spokesperson Jen Psaki.

  • Information

    Why was staggered vaccination recommended?

  • The news organization Cable News Network (CNN) said that the reason for such a recommendation could be that if Biden and Harris reported any side effects, such as a headache or fever, they would not experience them on the same day.
