In a televised appearance Friday morning, Pence took the shot from the Eisenhower Executive Office Building near the White House by a medical team from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. He was accompanied by his wife Karen Pence and Surgeon General Jerome Adams who also took the vaccine.
Shortly after receiving the shot in his left arm, Pence told reporters, “I didn’t feel a thing. Well done.” He added, “Karen and I wanted to step forward and take this vaccine to assure the American people that while we cut red tape, we cut no corners,” he said.
Pence went on to say, “Thanks to the great work at the National Institute of Health, and the great and careful work of the FDA and the leadership of our president and Operation Warp Speed, the American people can be confident we have one, and perhaps within hours, two safe and effective coronavirus vaccines for you and for your family.”
From there, doctors advised all three people that they must return in 21 days for the second dose of the vaccine and that they may feel some soreness around the injection site.
President-elect Biden is expected to take the vaccine next week, according to CNN.
