Andy Slavitt, a senior adviser to the White House’s Covid response team said, “The military’s critical role in supporting sites will help vaccinate thousands of people per day and ensure that every American who wants a vaccine will receive one.”
We're using every resource available to us to help change the course of the pandemic and control this virus. That's why the Department of Defense and FEMA are partnering with states to deploy 1,000 active duty troops, beginning next week to California, to help get shots in arms.
