(CNN) Vice President-elect Kamala Harris received the first dose of the Moderna Covid-19 vaccine live on television on Tuesday in Washington, DC, and urged Americans to get vaccinated for the virus. Harris said her husband, Doug Emhoff, would be receiving the first dose of the Moderna vaccine on Tuesday as well. The vice president-elect's vaccination comes just over one week after President-elect Joe Biden received his live on national television . Vice President Mike Pence was administered the vaccine at an on-camera event the week prior to Biden. The first doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine were administered to health care workers the same week that Pence received his shot.
