INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Vice President Mike Pence says he’s looking forward to getting vaccinated for COVID-19 and that he expects to receive his first dose in the next few days.
During a visit to a Catalent Biologics plant in Bloomington that’s producing a vaccine developed by Moderna and the National Institutes of Health, Pence projected confidence in the nascent vaccination effort, including in the Moderna vaccine that moved to the cusp of government authorization on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, a coalition of some of Indiana’s top hospital systems is warning that facilities are struggling to cope with the surge in COVID-19 patients — a sobering reminder that the coronavirus is still spreading quickly in the state despite the arrival of a vaccine.
