VP POOL 5 — Motorcade loaded up / rolled out

Hi!

Your pooler Eugene here. Pool loaded into the motorcade at 2:51.

We are headed to NIH for VP Harris' second dose of the Moderna vaccine.

Could not see her as the pools view was blocked by one of the vehicles.

Motorcade rolled out at 3:15.

From official guidance:
The Vice President and the Second Gentleman will receive the second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, which will be pooled press.

She joined the NIH community in February 2020 and has been a key leader in the COVID response, serving as the Branch Chief in theIncident Management Structure overseeing Medical Operations and is currently serving as the Operations Chief of the NIH COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic.

VP POOL #7 — stage is set for vaccine / event started

The room is pretty empty outside of press pool and secret service. The nurse is on the stage with a table, one chair presumably for the Vice President who just walked in.

Everyone is masked. And we were handed a clean mask to put on.
