Coronavirus in the United States: Future U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris vaccinated in public
The United States launched the largest vaccination campaign in its history in mid-December
Kamala Harris received the first of two doses of Moderna's Covid-19vaccine in Washington on Tuesday, calling on all Americans to get vaccinated equally. "I want to encourage everyone to get vaccinated. It's relatively painless. It's going very fast. That's for sure," the future U.S. vice president told the cameras after receiving the injection.
"I barely felt it," added the vice-president-elect behind her green mask at the time of the sting. Kamala Harris was vaccinated at a medical center in a neighborhood with a large African-American population. Proportionately, the latter is particularly affected by the disease,and also very reluctant to vaccinate.
It's about saving your life, the lives of your family members.
"I trust scientists. And it was the scientists who created and approved this vaccine, said the one that has made the fight against the pandemic one of its priorities. So I encourage everyone: when it's your turn, get vaccinated. It's about saving your life, the lives of your family members.
In mid-December, the United States launched the largest vaccination campaign in its history. Democratic President-elect Joe Bidenand Republican Vice President Mike Pence were also vaccinated in public to encourage people to trust the two remedies already approved in the country, the Pfizer/BioNTech alliance and Moderna's.
More than 2.1 million people received an initial injection of one of two licensed vaccines,according to figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Tuesday. That number is a far cry from the Trump administration's stated goal of promising 20 million people vaccinated by the end of the year.
