In an interview with NBC News that aired on Tuesday night, Biden explained they are planning to meet with the coronavirus task force in the White House.
“We’re already working out meeting with the Covid team in the White House and how to not only distribute but get from a vaccine being distributed to a person able to get vaccinated, so I think we’re gonna not be so far behind the curve as we thought might be in the past,” Biden said.
Biden is moving forward after the Trump administration gave the go-ahead for his transition.
The former vice president announced the members of his coronavirus task force earlier this month.
The three co-chairs of his task force include former Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, former Food and Drug Administration commissioner David Kessler, and associate dean for health equity research at the Yale School of Medicine Marcella Nunez-Smith.
Biden unveiled his foreign policy and national security team on Tuesday, as IJR previously reported.
