Ahead of the global Covid summit later this week, some officials worry the Biden administration’s effort is hobbled by a lack of additional pandemic response funding
The White House is hosting a global Covid response summit this week — but the U.S. isn’t currently prepared to bring significant new money to fight the virus worldwide, according to two people familiar with the preparations.
Without additional funds, it will be difficult for U.S. vaccine programs abroad to continue — some programs are planning to wind down in the coming month. Still, administration officials working on the global Covid effort said they are dedicated to ensuring people in low-income countries have access to Covid-19 shots.
“Because Congress acted before, we’re able to call others to act, and if Congress continues to act, we will continue to be able to make good,” another senior administration official said.
