According to The Hill, there are ongoing discussions in the administration on when and how Pence will be getting the vaccine.
During her press briefing on Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said President Donald Trump will take the vaccine “as soon as his medical team determines it’s best.”
She emphasized he is prioritizing the most vulnerable including frontline workers and those in long-term care facilities.
McEnany indicated there will be senior administration officials who will take it publicly “to instill that confidence.”
She told reporters Trump “absolutely” wants Americans to receive the vaccine.
