President-elect Joe Biden received the first dose of his COVID-19 vaccine in Delaware on Monday, posing for the cameras as a local nurse administrated the shot. Ocasio-Cortez, who will be the youngest member of Congress until Republican Madison Cawthorn gets sworn-in in January, detailed getting the vaccine on her Instagram story. In brief remarks after receiving his dosage, Biden credited Trump's administration with getting the Pfizer vaccine distributed. Biden received his shot the day after his nominee for U.S. President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump tested positive for COVID-19 in October and so aren't slated to the get vaccine right away.
