Public health departments across the U.S. are preparing to distribute a coronavirus vaccine by the CDC's Nov. 1 deadline despite questions surrounding how the plans will be funded.
With coronavirus stimulus discussions stalled, the plans state health departments have crafted become more like "wish lists" without the necessary funding, some experts say. But there's even more pressing and less certain issue for state leaders: How they're going to pay for it. The plans, however, are more like "wish lists" without the necessary funding for health departments to ramp up their health-care staff, improve their data systems, pay for the ultra-cold freezers needed to store some of the vaccines and prepare educational material to ease people's potential safety concerns, public health officials say.
Funny that we don’t have the vaccine ready to ship, yet we know exactly what the cost to distribute and we know exactly how much funding will be allocated to this? Sounds like assumptions.
I sure if the had the funds it would not go where it is needed
The real experts said we don't really have to worry about about seeing which we are getting because the the virus has gotten very weak especially since we cut off the Chinese
A voice cries out against the Pelosi blockade.
2020 flu cases and mortality rates reach record low, zero and zero.

Tell the states to save their money. Nobody wants it. 83% of people would rather have covid 19 than the vaccine. At least with covid we know our survivability rate...99.98% Who the fuck knows what that vaccine will do. Usually they take 5 plus yrs to make not 5 months. Fukdat
A bargain if the vaccine works
yes...yes..print those dollars!
How much does it cost to drive containers full of vaccine to multiple locations in a state?
Oh nooo, we have a vaccine, now there’s no money to distribute it. I’m sure it’s Trumps fault, like everything else...
