The incoming Biden Administration has laid out some ambitious plans to turn the tide on the pandemic. But what does it mean for the Mountain West?
In a speech last week, President-Elect Joe Biden said when it comes to vaccine distribution, his administration will, “manage the hell out of this operation.”
Part of that plan includes setting up mobile vaccination units in rural areas. Christine Porter is a public health expert at the University of Wyoming. She says that could make it a lot easier for folks to get vaccinated in the Mountain West. What these mobile clinics do is make it available and there will be some people who want them. And that will protect them, and should help reduce transmission rates in general in that community, even though some people might choose not to get vaccinated at that opportunity, Porter said.
