Covid-19 in the United States: Mike Pence will be vaccinated this Friday in public

 

Mike Pence intends to lead by example. The American vice-president will be vaccinated this Friday, December 18 against Covid-19 after the launch on Monday in the country of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. Mike Pence and his wife Karen will be vaccinated “in public” to “boost the confidence” of Americans, the White House said in a brief statement.

Donald Trump, who was infected with the virus earlier this year, has so far given no indication of when he might also undergo exercise. “The president is ready to be vaccinated and will do so as soon as his medical team deems it appropriate,” said spokesperson Kayleigh McEnany. “But his priority is the workers who are on the front line”. President-elect Joe Biden has told him he will be doing it in public soon, as has former President Barack Obama.

A massive vaccination campaign

The United States gave the green light to Pfizer-BioNTech’s vaccine on Friday evening, paving the way for a massive nationwide vaccination campaign that began on Monday. The American Medicines Agency (FDA) should also give urgent authorization to Moderna’s vaccine by the weekend.
