Hey John,

 

Did you see this recent write-up from WAER?

 

I wanted to share it with you today, in case you missed it. It details how supply of the COVID-19 vaccine greatly lags behind demand here in New York, due to the unacceptably slow distribution we’ve seen at the federal level.

 

I’ve now met with representatives from FEMA, Health and Human Services, and the Department of Defense, to discuss my ideas for accelerating this rollout.

 

The bottom line is we need to decentralize this process, and let our counties and healthcare organizations do what they do best and figure out how to best distribute the vaccine.. And I’m urging federal agencies to develop a plan that would ensure we have consistent, long-term notice on allotments.

This vaccine rollout is the key to getting America back to work, back to school, and back on track to greater opportunity and prosperity.

 

We can’t let up in demanding efficiency and accountability until the job is done!
