    US President-elect Joe Biden on Monday received his first dose of coronavirus vaccine on live television. The president-elect took a dose of vaccine at a hospital not far from his Delaware home, hours after his wife, Jill Biden, did the same. The development comes as a part of a growing effort to convince the American public the inoculations are safe. The injections came the same day that a second vaccine, produced by Moderna, will start arriving in the states. It joins Pfizer’s in the nation’s arsenal against the COVID-19 pandemic, which has now killed more than 317,000 people in the United States and upended life around the globe.
