At a press conference, the Democrat, to win the election on January 7While the vaccine is important, "it does not do much good if people are not vaccinated," he said.
"How do you vaccinate 300 million Americans - what's the plan? It is a Herculean task to do this, and to give double priority to those who need it most, collaborating with the WHO - World Health Organization - and the rest of the world in this process," he stressed.
In turn, Biden stressed that it is not only a matter of having the vaccine, but also of having a plan to distribute them.
"If we have to wait until January 20 to put it into action, that would put us almost a month and a half into the saga, so it's important that this is done with coordination now," he said.
In that regard, the president-elect tweeted in the afternoon and noted that "at this time, Congress should come together and pass in COVID-19 aid package, like the HEROES Act, which the House passed six months ago."
He added that "once we turn off the virus and provide economic relief to workers and businesses, we will be able to rebuild better than ever."
