$21 BILLION FOR COVID FUNDING

JULY 28, 2022

On July 28th, 2022, Senate Democrats unveiled a measure to provide $21 billion in emergency funding to fight Covid-19. The measure would provide funding for research on improved vaccines that can better combat new variants and allow for the purchasing of additional vaccines, tests and treatments.

The new funding would provide $16 billion for research, development and purchasing of next-generation vaccines, as well as tests and treatments. There is also $5 billion for global vaccination efforts, which are rapidly running out of funding.
