Americans living or working in long-term care facilities will receive COVID-19 vaccinations for free if and when they become available, the Trump administration said Friday.

Americans living or working in long-term care facilities, including nursing homes and assisted care living centers, will receive COVID-19 vaccinations for free if and when they become available, the Trump administration said Friday.

Calling the deal the"Pharmacy Partnership for Long-Term Care Program," the Trump administration said residents of long-term care facilities"may be part of the prioritized groups for initial COVID-19 vaccination efforts until there are enough doses available for every American who wishes to be vaccinated."

While coordinating COVID-19 immunizations at the state level is a complex and ongoing process, “this public-private partnership to vaccinate nursing home and long-term facility residents and workers is a giant step forward,” said Claire Hannan, executive director of the Association of Immunization Managers.

CVS and Walgreens are expected to coordinate three clinics apiece directly with each long-term care facility over the course of about two months to ensure the administration of two doses of the vaccine, if necessary.

Trump mocks Biden for trusting scientists while Biden slams Trump for Covid-19 'lie'President Trump mocked Joe Biden on Sunday for trusting scientists about Covid-19 shortly after Biden lambasted the president for continuing to 'lie' about the state of the pandemic. The scientists, the CDC, the WHO, even Fauci have all flip flopped and changed position on covid 19 half a dozen times or more regarding masks, lock downs and therapeutics and those are the folks Biden trusts? Trump will go to jail after he loses! NYC and FBI for fraud and tax evasion and also a dozen women for sexual harassment/abuse law suits. Maybe he’ll figure out how to pardon himself and his kids? Too sad for history but he did it to himself.

Biden claims he as a cure for the virus but won't share it with the country to save lives until after he wins the election. He is holding the country hostage basically saying vote for me or die with the virus. What do you about his character? Biden isn't leaving his house until Thursday. He is 'courting' no one. The media is helping him hide his and the Obama administration's obvious corruption. Adoçasuffit
