Chinanews, December 17th, a comprehensive report, on the 16th local time, the US Vice President's Office confirmed that the US Vice President Pence and his wife will be publicly vaccinated against the new crown at an event on December 18.
In addition, US President-elect Biden's transition team officials said that Biden will be vaccinated "as soon as next week."
According to reports, the Vice President’s Office stated that Pence and his wife will publicly receive the vaccine, “in order to enhance the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine in the hearts of Americans and build their confidence.”
On April 28, local time, when US Vice President Pence (second from right) inspected the Mayo Clinic, a medical institution, he ignored the clinic's regulations and visited patients without wearing a mask, causing controversy.
In addition, according to the Associated Press and Reuters, citing officials of the Biden transition team, Biden "will receive the new crown vaccine as soon as next week."
Biden also expressed his willingness to vaccinate publicly.
The United States began vaccination against the new crown on December 14. The first group of people to be vaccinated is medical staff and groups living in long-term care institutions such as nursing homes, but it will take several months to vaccinate a wide range of people.
U.S. President Trump previously stated that he has no plans to vaccinate.
But White House spokesman McNerney said on the 15th that Trump is "absolutely open" to vaccination. Once the president's medical team determines that the vaccine is the best option, Trump will get it.
Previously, former US Presidents Obama, Bush Jr. and Clinton all stated that they are willing to vaccinate the new crown publicly.
