White House tells governors they will redistribute unordered vaccine doses
CNN
President Joe Biden's coronavirus advisers told governors during a call Tuesday that they plan to redistribute vaccine doses should states not order all the vaccines allocated to them each week, the White House confirmed.
States will still get allocations based on their population, but the change means if a certain state does not order all of the doses available to them, the White House will redistribute them and likely give them to a state that has higher demand than their allocation. The Washington Post was first to report on the new plan. White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Tuesday laid out upcoming vaccine distribution plans and said coronavirus advisers on the call with governors reiterated the administration's commitments "to help expand access to the vaccine, boost vaccine confidence and help states with their unique needs in this vaccination effort."More Related News
