Massachusetts officials and public health experts see new hope in Biden’s ambitious vaccine plans
President-elect Joe Biden’s ambitious proposal to rapidly accelerate COVID-19 vaccinations with new investments and a national strategy is a welcome change from the Trump administration’s more hands-off approach to vaccine distribution that led to a patchwork of state-level vaccine policies and priorities, public health experts and state officials said.
In Massachusetts, where the vaccine rollout has been at times slower than anticipated, Biden’s initiative could mean additional resources for the cash-strapped local public health departments charged with doling out vaccines to their communities. Additional support from the federal government could allow these agencies to hire more staff, open vaccination sites, and mount outreach and educational campaigns.
