The United States, which is the worst-affected nation globally with the Covid-19 outbreak got a sigh of relief after the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gave its nod using the vaccine developed by US giant Pfizer and German firm BioNTech for emergency use.
The vaccination program is underway. As part of the vaccination program, US President-elect Joe Biden has received his vaccination dose at the Christiana Hospital in Newark, Delaware. He will take the second dose of the vaccine after 21 days.
While taking the vaccine dose, Joe Biden is seen wearing two overlapping face masks. He has thanked the scientists and researchers who worked relentlessly in manufacturing the vaccine.
'Today, I received the COVID-19 vaccine. To the scientists and researchers who worked tirelessly to make this possible â thank you. We owe you an awful lot. And to the American people â know there is nothing to worry about. When the vaccine is available, I urge you to take it,' his tweet read.
During the vaccination drive, United States Vice President Mike Pence and his wife received their vaccination doses last week and will receive their next vaccine dose after two weeks.
However, the United States President Donald Trump is yet to take the vaccine dose for the pandemic. Trump is likely to take the vaccine dose in the coming weeks.
After taking the vaccine dose, US President-elect Joe Biden heaped praises on the Trump administration and said they deserve credit for their contribution in producing vaccines.
So far, more than 18 million Indians were diagnosed with the Coronavirus pandemic, while more than 318,000 Americans have lost their lives battling the respiratory disease.
