On January 21, 2021, the Biden Administration released its National Strategy for the COVID-19 Response and Pandemic Preparedness (the “National Strategy”). To meet the President’s goal of 150 million doses to be given in the first 100 days of his administration, the National Strategy aims to increase coordination with and support for state and local governmental entities in all stages of vaccine distribution, from manufacturing to vaccine administration, some of which are described below. State and local governmental entities, as well as private industry employers and collaborators, should remain informed of changes to the vaccination effort as more of the workforce becomes eligible for vaccinations and as more support comes from the federal government.

Long-term care facilities have been the epicenter of COVID-19 infections and deaths. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”), nursing homes and other long-term care populations are at a high risk of being affected by COVID-19 due to their congregate nature and high risk population. The CDC reports that as of December 20, 2020, there were 471,953 nationwide cases of COVID-19 cases among long-term care residents, which resulted in 92,373 deaths from COVID-19. The total confirmed COVID-19 cases for long-term care facility employees during the same period of time was 402,956 nationwide, which resulted in 1,268 deaths from COVID-19. Hopefully, with the development and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, there will be a significant decline in cases and deaths from COVID-19 in long-term care facilities.
