Summary
The Biden administration has announced a federal program that will provide free Covid vaccines to uninsured Americans starting in the fall and continuing through the end of 2024. The program aims to fill gaps in vaccine access after the federal government shifts Covid shots and treatments to the commercial market. The free shots will be available at pharmacies and state and local health departments, and the government is also hoping for vaccine makers to donate shots to pharmacies. The program reflects a broader shift as Covid cases and deaths decrease and governments roll back health mandates.
