White House Covid-19 funds are running out. Here’s what that means for treatments, tests and vaccines:
does not have enough funding to purchase more monoclonal antibody treatments, so its allocation to states will be cut by 30% starting next week, and a planned shipment of additional treatments on March 25 has been canceled.
Uninsured Americans will no longer receive free Covid-19 tests and treatments as of March 25, and vaccination coverage for the uninsured will end April 5. The White House will have to scale back a planned purchase of preventative treatments for immunocompromised Americans on March 31, and will likely run out of treatments by the end of the year without additional funding.reportedly plans to ask for approval of a fourth Covid-19 shot for over-65s, the White House said it doesn’t have the resources to purchase enough additional booster shots for all Americans, including any updated shots designed to combat future variants.
The White House will no longer be able to purchase antiviral pills to treat Covid-19—which means they won’t be available at all if supplies run out, as Politicothe pills and many other Covid-19 treatments are only authorized for emergency use by the Food and Drug Administration, and thus can’t be sold commercially.
Covid-19 testing capacity is set to be “significantly diminished” after June, as the White House can no longer support manufacturers—and longer term, the funding cuts will affect research and monitoring of new variants as well as global vaccination efforts.$15.6 billion. That’s how much the White House and Congress had planned to allocate to Covid-19 funding as part of its $1.5 trillion spending bill.
