The US needs more money to plan for the second pandemic, President Joe Biden said during a press briefing on Tuesday, as he praised his governments efforts to ensure children under five can get Covid-19 vaccines.
Biden also hailed as a very historic milestone that the US has become the first country in the world to offer safe and effective Covid-19 vaccines for children as young as six months old.
When asked about how long the administration could keep up the new vaccine campaign, Biden suggested that the current budget would be enough to get through at least this year but stressed that we do need more money.
He went on to insist that he needed even more money for an unspecified second pandemic. We need more money to plan for the second pandemic. Theres going another pandemic."
