President elect① Joseph R. Biden Jr. received the coronavirus vaccine on live television on Monday at Christiana Hospital in Newark, Del., sending a message to Americans across the country that the vaccine is safe to take. Biden has said he would make the fight against the coronavirus, which has killed more than 315,000 Americans and infected more than 17.5 million, his top priority② when he takes office on Jan. 20. After getting the shot, a dose of the vaccine developed by Pfizer Inc, Biden praised medical professionals as “heroes”. “I’m doing this to demonstrate that people should be prepared when it’s available to take the vaccine. There’s nothing to worry about,” Biden said. His wife, Jill Biden, who got the injection earlier in the day, stood by Mr. Biden, however, warned Americans thatvigilance③ in the coming months was still necessary. “It’s going to take time,” he said, encouraging people to continue to wear masks and socially distance. “If you don’t have to travel, don’t travel,” he said. “It’s really important.” (Reuters & The New York Times)

美国当选总统拜登在特拉华州纽瓦克的克里斯蒂安娜医院电视直播了自己接种新冠疫苗的过程，此举旨在告知全美民众接种疫苗是安全的。拜登曾表示，他在1月20日就任总统后的首要任务就是抗击新冠疫情——疫情已经导致逾31.5万美国人丧生，逾1750万人感染。在接受辉瑞疫苗注射后，拜登称赞医务工作者是“英雄”。拜登表示：“我这样做是为了表明，人们应该做好接种疫苗的准备。这没有什么可担心的。”他的妻子吉尔·拜登站在他身边，她已于21日早些时候接种了疫苗。不过，拜登先生也提醒美国民众，未来几个月仍需要保持警惕。“这需要时间。”他说道，鼓励民众继续佩戴口罩及保持社交距离。“非必要不旅行，”他说，“这非常重要。”
