“I want to encourage everyone to get vaccinated.

It's relatively painless, it's really fast, it's safe ... It's literally about saving lives, ”she said after being vaccinated.

Her husband will also be vaccinated against COVID-19, Harris said.

“I'm waiting for the second part of the vaccine,” she added.
