President-elect Joe Biden plans to begin treating the pandemic as a national emergency according to details in report released today, reports CNBC.
President-elect Joe Biden plans to use FEMA and the National Guard to build coronavirus vaccine clinics across the United States, according to new details of his Covid-19 vaccination plan.
The rollout of vaccinations has been agonizing slow due to Trump’s failure to have a national plan, lack of funding locally, and overall lack of interest by him and his supporters.
The pace of vaccinations in the U.S. is going much slower than officials had hoped. As of Friday at 6 a.m. ET, more than 31.1 million doses of vaccine had been distributed across the U.S., but just over 12.2 million shots have been administered, according to data compiled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Biden laid out some of what his vaccination campaign involves:
“We’ll help people understand what science tell us. That the vaccines help reduce the risk of Covid infections and can better safeguard our health and the health of our families and our communities.”
“Our plan is as clear as it is bold. Get more people vaccinated for free, create more places for them to get vaccinated, mobilize more medical teams to get the shots in people’s arms, increase supply and get it out the door as soon as possible. This will be one of the most challenging operation efforts ever undertaken by our country, but you have my word. We will manage the hell out of this operation.”
