President Biden ran on the promise to do everything in his power to combat the pandemic, and once again, he’s delivering on that promise. President Biden and Vice President Harris are taking critical steps to keep hospitals from being overwhelmed, keep schools open, and ensure every American has access to the necessary care and vaccinations they need to protect themselves this holiday season. 

From at-home testing to free booster shots, President Biden is using all of the tools at his disposal to combat COVID-19 and protect the American people.
