Key points
FEMA support for coordinating vaccine deliveries and monitoring their transport, including temperature and location.
Creation of a national system for collecting vaccination data, with a strong emphasis on privacy protection and severe penalties for violations.
Establishment of additional vaccination centers in public places like stadiums and schools to increase vaccine accessibility.
Public education programs on vaccine safety and availability, with a focus on areas with limited healthcare access.
Appointment of an ombudsman to support individuals who choose not to be vaccinated and to champion their privacy rights.
