Iowans must have confidence we are receiving our fair share of vaccines. While the CDC routinely releases the state-by-state vaccine data for allocation, doses delivered and administration, it is difficult to determine based on this data whether Iowa is receiving its fair share.
This is why Senator Ernst and I are calling on the CDC to publish the week-to-week formula. Transparency will ensure Iowans and all Americans can confirm the federal government is fairly allocating vaccines and build confidence in the vaccine distribution process.
In the middle of a pandemic, the federal government must also do everything it can to protect the inmates in its care. In 2018, the First Step Act established important home confinement and early release programs, which are especially important right now.
The COVID-19 Safer Detention Act would clarify and expand those programs we wrote into the First Step Act, so we can better protect older and vulnerable populations.
