We've issued our own science backed and science based information. So far this year, I signed legislation allowing the Department of Public Health to issue its own vaccine recommendations rooted in science and data.

We directed all of our health insurers to cover the vaccine and made it easier for our pharmacists and local boards of health to administer vaccines. (05:30–05:39)
