Although Operation Warp Speed will continue under the incoming manager , Dr. Kessler, there will be the following distribution changes primarily not holding back vaccine for second shots and expanding providers.
------------------'
Biden will aim to release nearly every available dose of the coronavirus vaccine when he takes office. The Trump administration's strategy originally was to hold back half of US vaccine production to ensure second doses are available, but it has since reversed course and said it would distribute reserved second doses immediately, effectively adopting Biden's approach.
Biden's plan will increase the public health workforce to support the vaccination effort, which includes allowing for additional professionals to administer vaccines and encouraging states to expand the scope of practice laws and waive licensing requirements where appropriate. The president-elect will also mobilize a public health jobs program to support the response to the pandemic.
