JAKARTA - The President of the United States (US) Donald Trump will sign an executive order regarding priority access to the COVID-19 vaccine. Through the signing, the US will prioritize vaccinating its citizens first before providing assistance to other countries.
Trump's efforts were made amidst sharp criticism of his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, CNA launched on Tuesday, December 8. Trump wants to take the momentum of rapid vaccine distribution to get praise in order to break the chain of the spread of COVID-19.
White House officials confirmed this. Speaking on condition of anonymity, the official said the executive order also emphasized the US framework for helping other countries. However, vaccine distribution still prioritizes domestic distribution first.
Trump is holding a summit event (Summit) with all US officials and the private sector to highlight the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine today. Trump wants to emphasize his longstanding motto, namely "American first".
That motto, Trump said, would be in line with the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine. Meanwhile, officials from the president-elect's transition team, Joe Biden, were not invited to the summit.
At the summit, Trump and other officials focused on talking about efforts to provide understanding to the general public about how the distribution flow for the COVID-19 vaccine will work. Moreover, already 85 percent of health facilities across the country have signed up for mobile vaccination services that will be provided by CVS and Walgreens.
