$32 million
Mississippi Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) to support COVID-19 vaccine distribution efforts. This additional funding for vaccine distribution is great news for the state of
Mississippi, Wicker said. I am grateful for
FEMA s continued support as our state works to recover from this pandemic and restore more aspects of normal life. The widespread interest among Mississippians for the coronavirus vaccine is encouraging. These
FEMA resources will increase the ability of MEMA to assist the state s inoculation effort, and for that we are all thankful, said Hyde-Smith, who serves on the
Senate Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee. It is critical that Mississippians have the resources necessary to prevail in our fight against COVID-19, and this funding will prove to be a tremendous asset in our distribution efforts. Getting Mississippians vaccinated as quickly as we can is a key component of restoring our economy and way of life, Palazzo said.
