US Vice President Mike Pence received the coronavirus vaccine live on television on Friday. The White House said the aim of the move was to “promote the safety and efficacy of the vaccine and build confidence among the American people”.

Along with Pence, his wife Karen Pence and Surgeon General Jerome Adams were also administered the vaccine.

According to The Guardian, Healthcare workers from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center administered the vaccinations. Sitting in the front row at Pence’s inoculation was Dr Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top disease expert and member of the White House’s coronavirus task force, and Robert Redfield, head of the Centers for Disease Control and Protection.
