STATEMENT: Auchincloss on Removing COVID Funding from the Omnibus

Washington, D.C. - Please see the below statement from Congressman Jake Auchincloss (D,MA-04). 

“As co-chair of the Global Vaccination Caucus, it is gravely disappointing that the House is stripping $15B in COVID funding from the budget. The funds would be used to prepare for and prevent future variants and to help other countries vaccinate their populations. What should be a slam dunk for Democrats as the party of science and public health has become yet another intra-party battle – and one that leaves the nation more vulnerable to future surges.”
