The president-elect of the United States, Joe Biden, and his wife, Jill Biden, will be vaccinated against the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) on the 21st (local time). It is interpreted as to alleviate the public’s distrust of vaccines. However, despite the vaccination rally, the number of confirmed corona19 deaths in the US is increasing to an unprecedented level.
On the 18th (local time), the transition committee said that the couple, who were chosen by Biden, would receive the Corona 19 vaccine developed by Pfizer, an American pharmaceutical company. However, the place or time of vaccination was not specifically disclosed. Biden has repeatedly mentioned that he will be publicly vaccinated to alleviate public mistrust of the vaccine. Biden-elect, 78, belongs to the high-risk group for Corona 19 infection.
The transition committee said that while Biden’s recent contact with Congressman Cedric Richmond, an aide who was diagnosed with Corona 19, will not change the vaccination schedule. He met with Senator Richmond in Georgia, where he visited Georgia on the 15th to support the Senate final. “They were both outside in masks,” Insoo said. “The close contact time set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) was less than 15 minutes.” Vice President-elect Kamala Harris will be vaccinated a week later, on the advice of medical experts to stagger vaccination with Biden elect, the transition committee explained.
Previously, Vice President Mike Pence and his wife, Jerome Adams, chief of the Public Health Services Corps (PHSCC), who are responsible for public health hygiene in the United States, received an injection of Pfizer vaccine from medical staff at the Walter Reed County Hospital in the Eisenhower Administrative Building next to the White House in Washington, DC. He is the first among the top ministers in the Donald Trump administration. That day, the vaccination was broadcast live across the United States. Immediately after the vaccination, Vice President Pence said: “I did not feel anything” and “(The distribution of the vaccine) is the beginning of the end of the pandemic.” The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, leader of the Democratic Party of the United States, also vaccinated the day. However, the timing of President Trump’s vaccination has not been established.
However, even with the start of vaccination, the Corona 19 situation in the United States continues to deteriorate. According to CNN Broadcasting, the average number of new confirmed cases per day for the past week in the United States as of the 17th was a record 216,000. About 1.15 million people were recently infected in the last week. It is the highest number of new infections in a week. Broadcasting noted, “This means that one in 216 Americans per week has been confirmed.” The average number of deaths per day for a week was also estimated at 2,633, the highest after the pandemic (a global pandemic).
