Amazon Offers Biden Help With Covid-19 Vaccine Distribution
Thursday January 21, 2021. 03:40 PM , from Slashdot
Amazon has extended an offer to President Joe Biden to assist with the national distribution of Covid-19 vaccines, a move that could expedite the federal effort to combat the pandemic. From a report: Dave Clark, the CEO of Amazon's consumer business, and one of the company's highest-ranking executives, sent a letter to the president shortly after he was sworn in Wednesday. 'As you begin your work leading the country out of the COVID-19 crisis, Amazon stands ready to assist you in reaching your goal of vaccinating 100 million Americans in the first 100 days of your administration,' he wrote in his letter, a copy of which was obtained by NBC News.
'We are prepared to leverage our operations, IT, & communications capabilities and expertise to assist your administration's vaccination efforts,' Clark wrote. 'Our scale allows us to make a meaningful impact immediately in the fight against COVID-19, and we stand ready to assist you in this effort.' Clark said Amazon had agreements in place with licensed third-party health care providers to administer vaccines on-site at Amazon facilities. 'We are prepared to move quickly once vaccines are available,' he wrote. Read more of this story at Slashdot.
