The Biden administration’s new plan to increase its advance notice to states for how many COVID-19 vaccine doses they’ll get from one week to three is a major boon, according to Pennsylvania’s acting Department of Health Secretary Alison Beam.
A week’s “visibility” is insufficient for planning at the department and a “limiting factor” for local providers, because it cramps their ability to set up logistically with staff, space and other resources, Beam said Wednesday at a hearing of the state House Health Committee.
Three weeks, however, will be “a tremendous shift,” Beam said. “It’s a game changer.”
