3. We need to eliminate financial barriers to the vaccine. A third of Americans say they won't get the vaccine for financial reasons. We can't allow that to be a barrier.
If we do our job, we can have safe, effective vaccines that are widely available sometime in 2021

Widespread vaccinations will allow us to bring the pandemic under control.
Because remember, vaccines don't save lives, vaccinations do.
And if we do our job, we can save lives, mend our economy, and let us all return to some semblance of normality.
