For the vaccine, Kamala was accompanied by her husband Doug Emhoff too. “Today I got the COVID-19 vaccine. I am incredibly grateful to our frontline health care workers, scientists, and researchers who made this moment possible. When you’re able to take the vaccine, get it. This is about saving lives,” tweeted Kamala after taking the vaccine.

This is being done by Biden and Kamala to clear the myths in people and want to encourage more and more people to trust in the vaccine and authorities.
