West Virginia is working overtime to contain the Omicron surge, but we need the help and support of our federal partners. Today I visited the Kanawha-Charleston Health Department to see firsthand the need for COVID-19 treatments, like monoclonal antibodies.
After my visit, I called HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra to urge him to allocate these treatments to vulnerable states like WV. These treatments are essential, and I will continue to push HHS & the Biden Admin. to allocate these treatments to communities that need them the most.
@Sen_JoeManchin Whoa slow down Joe. Wouldn't you rather procrastinate for 6mos. Then use your rubber stamp response "we are working on it", then thumbs down it? Reminder, check with donors first then say no...sorry.
