White House officials are reportedly preparing to ask Congress for tens of billions of dollars in additional COVID-19 aid.
The funding plan hasn’t been finalized but is likely to focus on COVID therapeutics — such as an antiviral pill — and ramping up vaccine distribution, sources told the Washington Post on Friday.
Money to help with the global vaccine effort is also expected to be included in the plan, the sources added.
