00:00I can announce that we will increase overall weekly vaccination distributions of states, tribes, and territories from 8.6 million
00:09doses to a minimum of 10 million doses.
00:12Starting next week, that's an increase of 1.4 million doses per week.
00:17And we believe that we'll soon be able to confirm the purchase of an additional 100 billion doses for each
00:25of the two FDA-authorized vaccines, Pfizer and Moderna.
00:28That's 100 million more doses of Pfizer and 100 million more doses of Moderna.
00:35200 million more doses than the federal government had previously secured.
00:39We're working to make vaccines available to thousands of local pharmacies beginning in early February.
00:45It's a couple weeks off.
00:47And that will enormously expand our reach.
00:51Last week, I also signed a declaration to immediately begin reimbursing states 100 percent for the uses of their National
01:01Guard to help the COVID relief effort.
01:03The second thing, we're increasing the transparency with states, cities, and tribes, and local partners when it comes to the
01:11vaccine supply.
01:13This is something we've heard over and over again from both Democrats and Republicans, state and local leaders,
01:20that they need a plan in order to what they need to know what they have to plan on.
01:24They need to know what the order is going to be.
01:26The second thing is going to be.
01:26I don't know.
