Washington: US President-elect Joe Biden got a corona vaccine live on television Monday.
Biden got the Pfizer vaccine at the Christiana Hospital in Newark, Delaware. His wife Jill received the shot earlier. Biden told Americans "there's nothing to worry about" when they get vaccinated and that in the meantime they should keep wearing masks and "listen to the experts." Biden and his wife were the latest high-profile political figures publicly joining the first wave of vaccinations aimed at stopping a pandemic that has killed almost 318,000 Americans. Vice President-elect Kamala Harris and her husband will be vaccinated next week. Trump, however, has yet to take part in the drive. This was the first shot in the two-stage Pfizer vaccine and he said he was "looking forward" to the follow-up. Biden praised the scientists and the frontline workers, people who were the ones who actually did the clinical work."
