[Asia Economy Reporter Seulgina Jo] Kamala Harris, the Vice President-elect of the United States, will receive the COVID-19 vaccine publicly on the 29th (local time).

US CNN reported, citing a transition team official, that Harris and her husband Douglas Emhoff will have their COVID-19 vaccinations live broadcast from Washington DC on the same day.

This comes one week after President-elect Joe Biden received his vaccine. At that time, the vaccination scene was also broadcast live on TV and the internet to alleviate public distrust of the vaccine. The vaccine Biden received was the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, the first to be granted emergency use authorization in the US, which requires a second dose three weeks after the initial shot.

A transition team official stated that President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris will receive their vaccinations at different times following medical advice.
