Key Messages
- On May 4, President Biden set a goal to have 70% of American adults fully vaccinated by July 4 and to administer an additional 100 million vaccines in the next 60 days.
- A new website launched to make getting a COVID-19 vaccine as easy as possible. Individuals can visit vaccines.gov to find a location close to them and make an appointment. Individuals can also text their zip code to 438829 and get a text with the closest COVID-19 vaccine location.
- On May 3, US Department of Health and Human Services, through the Health Resources and Services Administration, announced the Coverage Assistance Fund reimbursement program that covers healthcare provider costs of administering COVID-19 vaccinations to under or uninsured individuals.
- Working with state governments, FEMA will continue to provide federal support to community vaccination centers, including supplemental vaccine allocation to pilot sites.
- There are 23 active or temporarily closed federal community vaccination center pilot sites and 55 mobile pop-up sites in 27 states. Additionally, there are 13 mobile vaccination units deployed to support states and the Indian Health Service. The federal community vaccination center pilot sites have administered more than 4.6 million vaccinations. The mobile units have delivered more than 28,000 vaccines.
- Although FEMA transitioned management of the federal community vaccination center pilot sites in California, Florida, New York, Pennsylvania and Texas to the states, the agency continues to support those sites with federal personnel.
