Some top Trump administration officials have now received the COVID-19 vaccine, seeking to build up confidence in the American people.
On Friday morning, Vice President Mike Pence was joined by his wife Second Lady Karen Pence and U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams in receiving the vaccine publicly.
“I didn’t feel a thing,” Pence said after getting the shot, adding, “We’re gathered here today at the end of a historic week to affirm to the American people that hope is on the way.”
The vice president added, “I also believe that history will record that this week was the beginning of the end of the coronavirus pandemic. But with cases rising across the country, with hospitalizations rising across the country, we have a ways to go.”
Dr. Anthony Fauci, member of the White House coronavirus task force and the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, was also in attendance at the event. He also delivered remarks.
