After the slow start of the vaccination campaign against the coronavirus in the USA, the nominated Minister of Health Xavier Becerra has promised the individual states more support from Washington.
"You can't just tell the states: Here is the vaccine, here are the masks, let's get started," Becerra said on CNN on Sunday.
The administration of the new President Joe Biden sees a central problem in the fact that under his predecessor Donald Trump, the central authorities would have taken care of distributing the vaccines in the country - but left the rest to the states.
In response to repeated questions, Becerra left it open when every American would have the opportunity to get a corona vaccination.
That depends, among other things, on the coordination between local and central authorities - and he doesn't want to give an appointment until it has been reliably set.
“The plane is diving - and we have to pull it up.
It won't happen overnight, ”Becerra said.
