US President-Elect Biden Receives COVID-19 Vaccine On Live TV

 

 

US President-elect Joe Biden received a Covid-19 vaccine live on television Monday in a campaign to boost Americans’ confidence in the jabs.

The 78-year-old incoming president got the Pfizer vaccine at the Christiana Hospital in Newark, Delaware. His wife Jill received the shot earlier, the presidential transition team said.

Biden told Americans “there’s nothing to worry about” when they get the vaccine and that in the meantime they should keep wearing masks and “listen to the experts.”
