MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Vice President Mike Pence and Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee are in Memphis on Thursday for a roundtable discussion on the COVID-19 vaccine.
The discussion was opened by Frederick Smith of Memphis-based FedEx.
Pence highlighted the role of FedEx in helping to distribute the vaccine as part of the government’s Operation Warp Speed plan to distribute the COVID-19 vaccine. The FDA is in the process of approving two vaccines for the virus, Pence said.
“Help is on the way,” Pence said, saying he believed the country is just days away from distributing millions of doses of vaccine across the country. The CDC is recommending how to distribute the vaccine, but Pence said state leaders like Lee would have final approval.
