TAMPA, Fla. â While an effort is underway to vaccinate more Americans against COVID-19 vaccines, pharmacists are playing a key role in the effort.
President Biden announced a month-long effort to reach 70 percent of adults with one dose by July 4, including incentives and a reliance on pharmacies.
The president said many vaccination sites, including pharmacies, will offer extended hours during June, including 24 hours on Friday nights.
CVS said itâs participating in the National Month of Action by offering the vaccine at about 500 24-hour locations across the country on certain dates. The company said it will be available through the early evening and early morning hours through walk-ins at those locations on June 11, 18 and 25, with no appointment necessary.
The GOP will do anything to distract Americans from the Biden’s administration’s immediate and aggressive response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the ailing economy.
The Republican battle plan is to bring cultural issues to a high boil. They will likely continue to demonize and denigrate immigrants. The party will likely also play the cultural wild card with attacks on a corporate decision to blacklist old Dr. Seuss books and Hasbro’s decision to drop the “Mr.” and “Mrs.” designations from the Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head toys. This is a thin gruel to Americans hungry for recovery.

Back then, Republicans failed to develop a response to the public cry for better health care by attempting to scare Americans about a mythical massive caravan of immigrants approaching the Mexican border.

On the second full day after President Biden took office, his administration released a broad-based, ambitious, 200-page National Strategy For The COVID-19 Response and Pandemic Preparedness (the “Plan”). The Plan’s stated objective is to “provide a roadmap to guide America out of the worst public health crisis in a century,” and sets forth seven goals to achieve that objective. The Plan emphasizes that the federal government’s actions will be founded in science and data and will be coordinated through a new COVID-19 Response Office.
Important for employers, however, is that the Plan’s success “requires sustained, coordinated, and complementary efforts of … groups across the country, including … health care providers; businesses; manufacturers critical to the supply chain, communities of color, and unions.”
