- Biden's plan to vaccinate the country includes opening up eligibility to get more people vaccinated, creating more vaccination sites, increasing supply and distribution of the vaccines, mobilizing more personnel to support the vaccination effort, and launching a public education campaign to address those hesitant to take the vaccine."The process of establishing priority groups was driven by science, but the implementation has been too rigid and confusing. We now see doses of vaccines sitting in freezers unused while people who want the vaccine cannot get it," a fact sheet provided by the Biden transition team reads. The fact sheet continues, "President-elect Biden's plan encourages states to open up eligibility beyond healthcare workers and long-term care facility residents and staff, to include frontline essential workers like teachers, first responders, grocery store employees, and anyone who is 65 and older."Health care workers and residents of long-term care facilities are the first in line for the coronavirus vaccines, as recommended by vaccine advisers to the CDC. Next in line are older adults, ages 75 and older, and "frontline essential workers," including first responders, the advisers recommended. The President-elect's plan will focus on ensuring equitable access to the vaccine, with a focus on reaching marginalized communities that have been hit hardest by the pandemic. He will use federal funds to create new community vaccination centers across the country, and launch mobile vaccination clinics and provider partnerships to reach underserved urban areas and rural communities. Biden's plan will make vaccines available in pharmacies, and increase the capacity at chain and independent pharmacies across the nation. As Biden has pledged in the past, he will use use the Defense Production Act to maximize the manufacturing of the vaccine and increase the supply. "President-elect Biden's plan will release the vast majority of the vaccines when they are available, so more people can get vaccinated quickly, while still retaining a small reserve for any unforeseen shortages or delays," the fact sheet reads. CNN previously reported that Biden Biden's plan is to increase the public health workforce to support the vaccination effort, which includes allowing for additional professionals to administer vaccines and encouraging states to expand the scope of practice laws and waive licensing requirements where appropriate. The President-elect will also mobilize a public health jobs program to support the response to the pandemic. The President-elect's plan would reimburse state deployments of the National Guard to support vaccinations, and provide additional assistance
