(5 years ago)U.S. President-elect Joe Biden has called for a wide distribution of federal aid in order to vaccinate 100 million Americans against the Coronactus during his first 100 days in power. This is a highly ambitious plan at the time when a new and more contagious version is expected [...]
Seeking to organise the most complex and logistically challenging campaign in the history of the United States, the Benden administration will be obliged to face people's reluctance to vaccinate, a weary workforce, a lack of clear information on the vaccine distribution, and on demand that the doses be distributed.
“Vax more people for free. Create more places for them to be vaccinated. Mobilize more medical teams for vaccines to reach people. Increase the supply and get it out of the door as soon as possible”, the new American president said.
The outgoing president, Donald Trump, will leave Beden with a complex and multidimensional crisis caused by pandemic and exacerbated by the outgoing administration, writes The Guardian.
In almost every case, the Trump administration has tried to put itself in the hands of countries apart, distanced from the war for providing protective equipment for doctors, supplies, and tests.
Reaching the goal of vaccinating 100 million people for 100 days from Beden would be double the vaccine rate targeted by the Trump administration, which had pledged to vaccinate 20 million people by the end of 2020. However, only 12 million people have been vaccinated so far.
