Vice President Pence Receives COVID-19 Vaccination
Vice President Mike Pence on Friday publicly received the new COVID-19 vaccine, along with his wife and a top health official.
Pence, the head of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, got the shot just after 8 a.m. in Washington.
Second Lady Karen Pence and Surgeon General Jerome Adams were also injected.
Pence called it a “truly inspiring day” that he said signaled the end of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Citing experts, Pence said the average vaccine usually takes between 8 and 12 years to develop. The United States is on track to administer millions of doses of the new vaccine to people less than one year from the emergence of the CCP virus.
