Pence to Get COVID-19 Vaccine on Live TV

VOA News

   U.S. Vice President Mike Pence is scheduled to get the coronavirus
   vaccine on live television Friday. His vaccination comes as surveys
   reveal some Americans are reluctant to receive the vaccine because of
   safety and efficacy concerns.

   The coronavirus surge in California's Los Angeles County is so dire
   that the county's public health department posted on Twitter: "Every
   hour, on average, 2 people are dying of COVID-19 in LA County."

   The U.S. television network CBS reported there are so few hospital beds
   available in intensive care units in Los Angeles that some coronavirus
   victims are waiting up to seven hours in ambulances for beds.
