The Secretary of Defense has approved the deployment of more than 1,000 active duty troops to help deliver Covid-19 vaccines across the U.S., a member of President Joe Biden’s coronavirus response team announced Friday.
Some of the troops will arrive in California next week within the next ten days and begin operations by Feb. 15 with additional states to follow, Andy Slavitt, a senior advisor to Biden’s Covid-19 response team, who previously worked in the Obama administration, told reporters.
