vaccinate
them (Biden and vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris -

) as soon as we can,” he told ABC News.
Fauci said he would like to see “fully protected Biden taking office in January”.
According to the specialist, the current US President Donald Trump is also recommended to be vaccinated in order to be "doubly confident."
