House Republicans Ted Budd of North Carolina and Mike Garcia of California want federal health officials to issue new guidance to stop thousands of unused CCP virus vaccines from being tossed into the garbage in New York, Washington state, and elsewhere.
“In New York, unused vaccines sat in freezers and some were even thrown away because vaccine providers feared Governor Cuomo’s mandate on which priority groups should be vaccinated first,” Budd and Garcia told Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Dr. Robert Redfield in a letter on Jan. 19.
