FEMA Describes community vaccination center program--press release

Mon, 2021-02-08 12:05 — mike kraft

FEMA Supports Vaccine Distribution: COVID-19 Response Update | FEMA.gov

WASHINGTON -- FEMA has now obligated more than $1.98 billion to states, tribes, territories and Washington D.C., for community vaccination centers, and as of Feb. 4, there are 175 federally supported vaccine centers operational across the country.

FEMA continues working alongside other federal agencies in providing federal support for critical staffing, supplies and other shortfalls that can help get more Americans vaccinated.

President Joseph R. Biden directed FEMA to retroactively reimburse states for 100% of their costs for eligible emergency protective measures including masks, gloves, emergency feeding actions, sheltering at risk populations and mobilization of the National Guard, if not funded by HHS/CDC or another federal agency.
