Have learned during the crisis to better prepare for pandemic or other biological events of this scale in the future. Folks of todays hearing is the Strategic National stockpile. First established with a 51,000 appropriation in 1958, the sns was codified in 2002 and obtained its current name with an expanded mission in 2003.

Within minority communities toward the medical industry. Thank you to all of our witnesses and, of course, my colleagues for joining us. Todays reading is about the extraordinary effort underway to develop a vaccine to prevent covid19, safe and effective vaccine could hasten the end to this disastrous pandemic. But the herd immunity that would in covid19 once and for all requires all of us, all of us to get vaccinated. For that we need public trust in this entire vaccine project. Around the globe nearly 200 vaccine candidates are being developed and over 20 have entered human Clinical Trials.
