Biden administration to boost vaccine

 

Biden administration to boost vaccine supply in states by 17% next week




US states wringing their hands at empty cupboards left by the Trump administration are going to be getting a 17 per cent boost in Covid-19 vaccine supply next week.

Latest figures updated on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website Tuesday show that the Biden government plans to form about 10.1 million first and second doses of both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines available next week, up from this week's allotment of 8.6 million.

States have cancelled thousands of appointments over the last week because their supply ran out right round the time Joe Biden was inaugurated.

The Biden administration inherited multiple bottlenecks and shortages, although Pfizer and Moderna have committed an initial 100 million doses each. aceI can't tell you how much vaccines we've ," incoming CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky told Fox News. "And if I can't tell it to you, then I can't tell it to the governors, and I can't tell it to the state health officials."

Biden seeks more foreign workers

  Biden seeks more foreign workers while skirting H-1B visa uproar Joe Biden’s immigration overhaul seeks to permit more skilled foreign workers into the U.S. without stirring widespread protest from labor groups, whose opposition would ruin prospects for what's already one among the president’s most precarious priorities. The sweeping proposal Biden sent to Congress on his first day in office drew quick Republican opposition over its centerpiece: a faster path to citizenship for 11 million undocumented immigrants within the U.S. Another provision would allow more foreign students and workers to enter the U.S. by increasing the amount of employment-based green cards. Business groups view the proposal as how to extend the availability of coders and other skilled tech workers for U.S. companies without raising caps on programs like the H-1B visa for high-skilled workers. Companies like Alphabet Inc.’s Google, Apple Inc. and Facebook Inc. have for years pressed to increase the number ...

  US President Joe Biden lifts minimum wage, offers economic relief in latest executive orders US President Joe Biden has sped up financial relief for millions suffering from the COVID-19 pandemic in his latest executive orders. The two executive orders Mr Biden signed would increase food aid, protect job seekers on unemployment and clear a path for federal workers and contractors to urge a $US15 ($19.44) hourly wage. This comes as Congress begins to consider his much larger $US1.9 trillion ($2.46 trillion) package. "This can help tens of millions of families, especially those who cannot provide meals for their kids," Mr Biden said. "A lot of Americans are hurting. The virus is surging. "No matter how you look at it, we need to act." Mr Biden described the pandemic situation within the US as bleak, and said the virus couldn't be stopped within the next several months.

Biden Pitches Stimulus Plan

  Biden Pitches Stimulus Plan at Wisconsin Town Hall President Biden said on Tuesday that every American who wants a Covid-19 vaccine will be able to get one by the end of July, striking a more optimistic tone than he delivered last week when he warned that logistical and distribution hurdles would most likely mean that many people would still not have been vaccinated by the end of the summer. Mr. Biden made the comment in Milwaukee during a town hall-style meeting hosted by CNN. When the host, Anderson Cooper, asked him when every American who wants a vaccine was “going to be ready to get a vaccine?” Mr. Biden replied without hesitation: “By the top of July this year.” He then tempered the remark slightly, telling Mr. Cooper that the doses would “be available” by that time. But he also said he did not expect it to take months to get the shots into people’s arms. At a time when Americans are yearning to urge back to what life was like before the pandemic, Mr. Biden sought to supply...
