January 14, 2021 – Premier Inc (Charlotte, NC) has sent a letter to the incoming Biden administration that gives steps the administration should take to expedite COVID-19 vaccinations among Americans.
Premier says it recognized early on that a mass vaccination effort would be the biggest logistical challenge of the pandemic.
“Now a month in, it’s clear that despite tireless efforts on the part of our frontline caregivers, swift intervention from the federal government is needed to speed the administration of vaccines in order to reduce the national infection rate, save lives and alleviate the systemic strain new cases and viral mutations place on the healthcare system,” Premier wrote.
The company says it has identified five systemic issues limiting the vaccine rollout that need immediate remediation and then recommends a series of actions that the incoming Biden Administration can immediately take to overcome these obstacles and streamline and expedite the vaccination process throughout the country.
