Biden's coronavirus team outlines efforts to meet ambitious new goals
The White House's coronavirus response team on Friday outlined the different ways the federal government will be working to implement President Joe Biden's ambitious goals unveiled during his prime-time address to the nation Thursday night.
During a speech marking the one-year anniversary of the coronavirus pandemic on Thursday, the President committed to directing all states to open Covid-19 vaccinations to all adults by May 1. He said the administration will also roll out a set of tools after May 1 to help Americans locate places to get a vaccine. Biden also underscored the need to accelerate the reopening of schools and said the administration plans to issue further guidance on what people can and cannot do once fully vaccinated.
White House Covid-19 response coordinator Jeff Zients said during Friday's briefing that the vaccine locator tools first announced by Biden will include setting up a website and a call center. In addition, the administration will deploy technology teams to improve state and local websites providing vaccine appointments.
"By May 1, as vaccines are available in more places, the administration will launch a federally supported website that will show locations near them that will have available vaccines," Zients said. "And because we know that not everyone has internet access or is comfortable online, we will also launch a call center to provide assistance to finding vaccine."
