After leading a historic vaccination campaign to get more than 200 million Americans vaccinated, President Biden continues to demonstrate leadership by implementing overwhelmingly popular policies to keep Americans safe. Today his administration announced that tens of millions of households have already ordered their free at-home tests, and are receiving them ahead of schedule. At the same time, millions of free N95 masks are arriving at pharmacies across the country.
Voters overwhelmingly support President Biden’s initiatives to distribute free COVID-19 at-home tests and masks.
