President Biden has declared that his administration will work to improve the distribution of COVID vaccine. Dr. Nancy Nielsen sees a lot of things that can be done better. The Senior Associate Dean for Health Policy at UB s Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences is very familiar with the allocation chain involving private companies, federal and state governments. She also wants to give credit where credit is due. I think very valiant efforts were made so I don t want to disparage those folks that set up the current system under the last administration, said Nielsen, the former President of the American Medical Association. I think we need to remember we should be enormously grateful for Operation Warp Speed and for the scientists that developed these vaccines. Let s just try to improve things.
