Now, more than ever, we need a cohesive national approach that puts politics aside and focuses on our common goals – an equitable and efficient distribution of the vaccine, getting children back to school and our residents back to work, and bringing a sense of normalcy back to our nation. We look forward to supporting the Call to Action of the COVID Collaborative and working together to finally end this pandemic.”
