Joe Biden Unveils $20 Billion For Vaccination Program by Angela Mohan on January 19, 2021 at 11:21 AM
Biden promises $20 billion for COVID-19 vaccination program, but new ideas may be needed for vaccine delivery.
Philipp Rosenbaum, PhD, Senior Infectious Diseases Analyst at GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company, offers his view on Biden s promise of $20 billion for vaccination program. More funding for the mass rollout of COVID-19 vaccines is urgently needed, as the US reported on average 240,000 new daily confirmed COVID-19 cases and more than 3,300 deaths per day over the past week.
While hospitals and healthcare personnel on the ground are inundated with new COVID-19 cases, little capacity is left for vaccinations.
