Newly elected US President Joe Biden has been vaccinated against coronavirus.
A Reuters report said on Tuesday (December 22).
On Monday local time, U.S. President Joe Biden received the first dose of the Pfizer-BioNtech vaccine for coronavirus at Delaware Christiana Care Hospital in New York, the report said.
Earlier, he said that he would take the vaccine in public to allay suspicions among the people of the country.
After receiving the vaccine, he called on Americans to get vaccinated.
Joe Biden said, ‘I took the vaccine to show people that there is nothing to worry about. People should be prepared to be vaccinated when the vaccine becomes available. '
"I have no intention of being at the forefront of vaccination," Biden said at one point. But I want to make sure that the corona vaccines are safe for the American people. "
"I want to make sure it's safe," Biden told reporters in Wilmington. When I take (the vaccine), I take it in public. "
Incidentally, one of the first people in the country to receive the coronavirus vaccine was a nurse working in an intensive care unit (ICU). The nurse, Sandra Lindsay, was the first person in New York City to receive the vaccine at a live video event on Monday (December 14).
