Telegraph, 30 Dec 2020
US Vice President-elect Kamala Harris on Tuesday received her first dose of the Moderna COVID -19 vaccine before live television cameras as part of a growing effort to convince the US public the inoculations are safe.
The vice president-elect took a dose of the vaccine at United Medical Center in southeast Washington, DC and said her husband Douglas Emhoff would do the same.
"That was easy! Thank you. I just barely felt it. I barely felt it," Harris said after receiving the shot.
The Moderna vaccine is part of the nation's arsenal against the COVID-19 pandemic, which has now killed more than 330,000 people in the United States and upended life around the globe.
