Washington, Jan 12 : US President-elect Joe Biden has received the second dose of the Covid-19 vaccine, four weeks after he was administered the first shot.
Biden was injected the second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine on Monday at a hospital in Newark, Delaware, his home state where his transition headquarters are based, Xinhua news agency reported.
He received the first dose on December 21, 2020.
Wearing a short-sleeved polo shirt so that the jab can be easily injected into his arm, Biden urged Americans to continue wearing masks, waving a black one of his own.
Taking to Twitter, he said: “Folks, I just received the second dose of my Covid-19 vaccine — and just like the first dose, it was safe, quick, and painless.
“I urge everyone to get vaccinated once it’s your turn. Because only together can we save lives and beat this virus.
