President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris received a national security briefing from their team of experts on Monday.
Biden and Harris will deliver brief remarks on the subject later Monday.

Reporters were allowed in for a short period, during which Biden stressed the importance of the country's recommitting to global alliances after Trump's presidency.

"The past four years we've seen a lot of damage to American global leadership and traditional alliances, democracy under assault, and our security jeopardized by a go-it-alone approach in this administration. And the truth is the challenge we face today, can't be solved by any one country acting alone," he said.

Harris thanked those participating for their service and commitment to the country.

Among those participating were Secretary of State-designate Tony Blinken, Defense Secretary-designate Lloyd Austin, incoming National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan and Avril Haines, Biden's pick for director of national intelligence.

Vice President-elect Kamala Harris received her first dose of Moderna's Covid-19 vaccine live on television today.

"I want to encourage everyone to get the vaccine. It is relatively painless. It happens really quickly. It is safe," she said immediately after receiving the vaccine at United Medical Center in Washington, DC.

"It's literally about saving lives. I trust the scientists. And it is the scientists who created and approved this vaccine. So I urge everyone, when it is your turn, get vaccinated. It's about saving your life, the life of your family members and the life of your community," Harris added.

She said her husband, Doug Emhoff, will also receive the vaccine today.

The vice president-elect's vaccination comes just over one week after President-elect Joe Biden received his live on national television. After getting the shot, Biden reassured Americans of the vaccine's safety and urged them to get vaccinated as soon as the shots became available to them.

Biden and Harris staggered their vaccinations at the recommendation of medical experts, according to transition spokesperson Jen Psaki. The reason for such a recommendation could be that if Biden and Harris reported any side effects, such as a headache or fever, they would not experience them on the same day.
