The legislative branch of government is rapidly moving to receive the coronavirus vaccine, with both House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell getting the shot on Friday and the top Capitol doctor urging all members of Congress to join them.
Both Pelosi and McConnell tweeted photos of themselves receiving the vaccine from the Capitol physician, Dr. Brian P. Monahan. Monahan informed lawmakers Thursday evening that they are all eligible for the shots under government continuity guidelines and asked members of the House and Senate to make appointments with his office to be vaccinated.
The leaders’ vaccinations came hours after Vice President Mike Pence received it on live television and called it a “medical miracle.” The public displays from all three come as top U.S. health officials are trying to convince regular Americans who may be skeptical of the vaccinations to get them and allow the country to rebound from the pandemic...
It is unclear whether all 535 members of the House and Senate will choose to get the vaccine. Only about half of Americans say they are willing to get it, according to a survey this month by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, despite a rigorous federal review process and health officials’ insistence that it is safe.
Several other members of Congress have expressed an eagerness to receive the vaccine, especially as an example to some of their constituents who may be wary. House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy said Friday that he would also be getting the shot.
Two senators, Rob Portman, R-Ohio, and Steve Daines, R-Mont., have been participating in the vaccine trials.

...Nonessential?
Yeah... i’m a white guy Pelosi... you’re telling me I’m too privileged to get it.
Well we will see how it works on 80 year olds ...
At this point I hope nothing but absolute pain and terrible side effects for all of them. Imagine the optics of these losers jumping to the beginning of the line.
If flu vaccines were really effective, then the people getting the vaccines would not care if I chose not to get it because they would be safe. If I and others who chose not to get the vaccine got sick and spread it among others who did not get the vaccine it would be no skin off their teeth. The above would be true if the vaccine “were effective”, but it is not more than 20% effective in the best case.
Them first - rest of us...???
I wasn’t sure if I’d take the shot, but if McConnell and Pelosi are urging me to, then I definitely will. Oh, wait ... I won’t.
