WASHINGTON (KTVZ) — Sens. Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden, D-Ore., announced Wednesday that $84 million in federal funding provided by the Plan de rescate estadounidense, which the senators helped pass on March 6, is headed to 30 health centers throughout Oregon to expand access to the coronavirus vaccine.
“I am deeply grateful to the health care heroes who have been working on the frontlines throughout this pandemic to give our families, friends, and community members the best treatment possible under very difficult circumstances,” said Merkley.
“One of the best things we can do to help them in the fight against the coronavirus is to get vaccines in arms as quickly as possible. I’m grateful that this funding is headed to health centers in every corner of our state to help make that happen, and will continue to do all that I can to secure the resources all Oregonians need to beat back the pandemic.”
“The urgent need to get as many Oregonians vaccinated as soon as possible receives a real shot in the arm with these vital American Rescue Plan resources heading to health centers in every nook and cranny of our state,” said Wyden, Chair of the Senate Finance Committee. “Oregonians and the health care workers dedicated to helping them deserve every possible opportunity to continue Oregon and the country on the road to the other side of this pandemic. And I will keep battling for every potential dollar for that path to be as fast and smooth as possible.”
Desde que comenzó la crisis del coronavirus, Merkley y Wyden han mantenido firme la necesidad de crear un plan nacional de distribución de vacunas y de Garantizar que el plan aborde las alarmantes disparidades en materia de salud. que solo han empeorado durante la pandemia.
