Pence also encouraged Americans to continue to practice social distance, regular hand washing and wearing masks.
“The way to get through this challenging time is through vigilance and vaccination,” Pence said.
Although Pence, head of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, has continued to focus publicly on the presidential election, he has done most of the day-to-day work on Covid-1 on. It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post.
In a statement Wednesday night, the vice president said he and his wife, Karen Pence, are taking the vaccine in public to make them believe, as millions of Americans are skeptical of fully tested products.
The vaccination took place in the Eisenhower Executive Office Fee Building, a building with Pence’s place fee.
President-elect Joe Biden is also expected to receive the vaccine soon.
