Kamala Harris Receives First Dose Of COVID-19 Vaccine On National TV

On Tuesday, Vice President-elect Kamala Harris received the COVID-19 vaccine on live television in Washington, DC.

Harris was administered the first dose of the Moderna vaccine by clinical nurse manager Patricia Cummings at United Medical Center. She confirmed that her husband, Doug Emhoff, would also be receiving the vaccine on Tuesday.

“That was easy,” Harris said once she received her dose. “Thank you. I barely felt it.” She thanked the United Medical staff “for the work that you do in Southeast (Washington) D.C., serving a community that is often overlooked.”

Just a week before Harris’ vaccination, president-elect Joe Biden took the vaccine on live television as well. The 78-year-old reassured U.S. citizens that the vaccine was safe and effective to use. Harris is corroborating this stance, urging everyone to take the vaccination once it becomes available to them.

“I want to encourage everyone to get the vaccine. It is relatively painless. It happens really quickly. It is safe,” Harris said before adding, “It’s literally about saving lives. I trust the scientists. And it is the scientists who created and approved this vaccine.”

As of now, the vaccine is being administered to the high-risk population and essential workers. Nevertheless, Kamala Harris says that “when it is your turn, get vaccinated.”
