According to transition spokesperson Jen Psaki, the political pair purposefully staggered their vaccination schedule at the recommendation of medical experts.
They wished to avoid overlapping any possible side effects, such as a headache or fever.
Earlier this month, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease specialist, strongly recommended that both the incoming and outgoing leadership get vaccinated.

Vice President Mike Pence was given the COVID-19 vaccine during an on-camera event the week prior to Biden's.

Donald Trump has yet to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
