WASHINGTON, (Reuters) – The Biden Administration is asking Congress for $30 billion more to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. This amount will be used to boost vaccines, treatment, and research. Sources familiar with the matter say this.

According to a spokesperson from the Department of Health and Human Services, both congressional and Administration staff were in discussions about this topic on Tuesday.

“HHS leaders regularly engage with Congress about COVID resources, and in a Tuesday conversation with congressional staff, HHS discussed the status of COVID response funds as well as the need for additional resources to support securing more life-saving treatments and vaccines, sustaining testing capacity, and investing in research and development of next-generation vaccines,” the spokesperson said.
