The goal of vaccinating the majority of Americans against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in a timely manner requires a robust federal vaccine distribution plan involving pharmacy partnerships. Previously, the 2009 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) H1N1 Vaccine Pharmacy Initiative resulted in approximately 10% of adults who received a vaccine during the 2009 pandemic reporting they were vaccinated at a pharmacy. This proportion has already largely increased for COVID-19 vaccinations, with the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) using similar channels for vaccination as existing partnerships with national pharmacy and grocery retail chains for the COVID-19 Community-Based Testing Program. It continues to prove crucial that the Biden administration's national COVID-19 vaccine distribution plan, including the Federal Retail Pharmacy Program, focus on ensuring equitable vaccine distribution and access in medically underserved areas and to vulnerable populations, enabling maximum uptake of COVID-19 vaccines.
及时为大多数美国人接种2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）疫苗的目标需要一个强有力的联邦疫苗分发计划，其中涉及与药房的合作关系。此前，2009年美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）的H1N1疫苗药房倡议使得在2009年大流行期间接种疫苗的成年人中，约有10%报告称他们是在药房接种的。对于COVID-19疫苗接种而言，这一比例已大幅提高，美国卫生与公众服务部（HHS）利用与国家药房和杂货零售连锁店现有的合作关系中类似的渠道进行疫苗接种，以开展COVID-19社区检测项目。拜登政府的国家COVID-19疫苗分发计划，包括联邦零售药房计划，继续证明至关重要的是要专注于确保在医疗服务不足地区以及弱势群体中公平地分发疫苗并提供接种机会，从而使COVID-19疫苗的接种率最大化。
