US President-elect Joe Biden will receive COVID-19 vaccine on Monday.
United States President-elect Joe Biden will receive his first dose of COVID-19 vaccine at a Delaware facility on Monday, one month before he took office.
This, as he’s eager to build Americans’ confidence in the COVID-19 vaccines.
Biden spokesperson Jen Psaki told reporters that Biden would be doing it in public to send a clear message to the public that it’s safe.
On the other hand, Vice President-elect Kamala Harris would be vaccinated the following week.
Meanwhile, US Vice President Mike Pence, his wife Karen, and Surgeon General Jerome Adams had received the COVID-19 vaccine from Pfizer and BioNTech in the annex to the White House on Friday.

“It feels false because it is, it’s too slick,” Fox News host Tucker Carlson told viewers Thursday.
As per the report, there’s also a focus of mistrust among African-Americans, a group that Surgeon General Jerome Adams addressed after he got his COVID-19 vaccine.
According to Adams, Americans shouldn’t let misinformation and mistrust caused them to make a decision that’s bad for their health.
