AP通信によると, 現地時間21日午後, バイデン次期米大統領がデラウェア州の病院で公的に新型コロナウイルスワクチンの接種を受けた, ワクチンの安全性を国民に証明したいと考えている. バイデン氏はこう言った: “私がこれを行ったのは、人々がワクチン接種を受けられるときに備えておく必要があることを示すためです。” “心配することはありません。”
しかし, he pointed out that it “takes time” to distribute the vaccine, and urged Americans to take preventive measures during the holidays to avoid the spread of the virus, including wearing masks. “If you don’t need to travel, don’t travel,” バイデン氏はこう言った. “This is really important.” 報道によると, Biden thanked those involved in vaccine development and distribution and front-line medical staff during the injection. Biden’s wife Jill finished vaccination a few hours ago.
ついさっき, Biden’s transition team said that Vice President-elect Harris would be vaccinated one week after Biden’s vaccination. Medical experts suggested that they had better stagger the vaccination time of the first dose to avoid the side effects of the vaccine. 最近, Cedric Richmond, a consultant of Biden, tested positive in COVID-19. But a spokesman for Biden said Biden tested negative in SARS-CoV-2 on December 17th. It is also reported that many senior officials, including Vice President Burns and Speaker of the House of Representatives Pelosi, were vaccinated on December 18th.
Biden had previously announced his three 100-day anti-epidemic plans after taking office. He plans to require Americans to wear masks and get at least 100 million doses of vaccines within 100 days after he took office on January 20, 2021, and to let students return to school as soon as possible. COVID-19 vaccination started in the United States on December 14th. The first group of vaccinators were medical staff and people living in long-term nursing institutions such as nursing homes, but it will take several months to vaccinate a wide range of people.
US President Trump previously said that he has no plans to vaccinate. しかし,
White House spokesman McNarney said that Trump is “
absolutely open”
to vaccination,
and once the president’s medical team determines that vaccination is the best plan,
Trump will be vaccinated.
