Where are the ‘continuity of government’ vaccine doses coming from? No one wants to say – Roll Call

Category: Mike Pence

The Department of Health and Human Services and Operation Warp Speed did not respond to a request for clarification after the statement from DC Health, having previously insisted that decisions were being made at the local level.

According to Army Gen. Gustave Perna, the chief operating officer for Warp Speed, only a handful of federal departments and agencies have their own allotments.

The five federal agencies are Veterans Affairs, Department of Defense, Department of State, Indian Health Services and Bureau of Federal Prisons, Perna said Dec. 2.

Vice President Mike Pence is scheduled to be vaccinated on Friday, and he and other senior officials certainly could be receiving a vaccine from one of those supplies, but multiple federal officials have declined to give a clear answer.

Outside of that, Pence would be expected to receive a dose of vaccine that is counted in the supply allocated to his state of residence.
