Amazon exec Dave Clark wants to help vaccinate the country against Covid-19. Clark is offering to help President Joe Biden with the unprecedented vaccination effort. Biden has pledged to vaccinate 100 million Americans in his first 100 days in office. Clark offered Amazon's logistics, communications, and IT expertise in a letter addressed to President Biden. Clark said: "We are prepared to leverage our operations, information technology, and communications capabilities". Clark also requested that Amazon's essential workers be eligible to receive the vaccine at the "earliest appropriate time."
President-elect Joe Biden announced during a Friday speech that he has plans for FEMA. He said he will instruct the Federal Emergency Management Agency to build facilities for COVID-19 vaccines. These facilities will then distribute the vaccine to the American public, says Business Insider. Biden said his administration will build 100 federally-funded community vaccination centers. He plans to have this in motion by the end of his first month in office. He also promised to set up mobile vaccination units for hard-hit and hard to reach communities.
14 (UPI) -- The incoming Biden administration's plan to release more doses of the COVID-19 vaccine won't cause supply shortages, Dr. Celine Gounder, a member of the newly created COVID-19 advisory board said Thursday. Two COVID-19 vaccines, made by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, have been approved for use in the United States, and both require two doses for maximum effectiveness. Through Thursday, nearly 30 million doses of the two vaccines had been distributed across the country, but fewer than 11 million have been administered, based on estimates from the U.S.
