US President-elect Joe Biden has received the first of two injections against the coronavirus as he told Americans “there’s nothing to worry about.”
The US president-elect said he wanted to show the American people that “there’s nothing to worry about” regarding vaccines.

Biden took the BioNTech-Pfizer vaccine on live television at a hospital not far from his Delaware home. He declined the option to count to three before the shot, telling the nurse she could “just go ahead” when ready.
The politician emphasized the safety of the vaccine, and even praised President Donald Trump, saying the current administration “deserves some credit” for getting the vaccine distribution “off the ground.”
“I’m doing this to demonstrate that people should be prepared, when it’s available, to take the vaccine,” he said.
