Biden Administration to Provide Free Covid Vaccines to Uninsured Americans

The Biden administration has announced a federal program called the Bridge Access Program that will provide free Covid vaccines to uninsured Americans from fall 2021 to the end of 2024. The program aims to fill the gaps in vaccine availability after the federal government shifts vaccines to the commercial market. Vaccine manufacturers will sell updated versions of their shots directly to healthcare providers, while the government will purchase discounted shots to provide to uninsured individuals at pharmacies and health departments. The program will continue until the government's supply runs out in the fall.
