The Trump administration’s vaccine distribution team said it had not briefed anyone involved with the transition about its efforts during a conference call on Thursday, Senator Chris Murphy said in a statement, adding that they “have no plans to do so” despite calls from Mr Biden and others to comply with the process. Dr. Celine Gounder, a member of the president-elect’s Covid-19 transition panel, said the Trump administration’s failure to cooperate with incoming administration was a “major impediment to rolling out and scaling up the vaccine” in a statement. Discussing the need for cooperation with Mr Trump’s vaccination team, Mr Biden said on Monday: “It’s going to take a while for the vaccine to be able to be available and distributed.” “It’s important that people who are in the greatest need get it,” he added, while discussing whether he would get the vaccine.
