Congress has yet to pass a new COVID-19 funding bill. As a result, federal funds for COVID relief expired on Tuesday.
TUCSON, Ariz. — At the beginning of the pandemic, it was unclear how much funding Pima County would receive for COVID related services. Despite the uncertainty, the county pushed forward.
Once again, COVID funding is uncertain, since federal funding ended on Tuesday. But Dr. García says they'll follow the same plan they did before. Without congressional funding, White House officials say the united states will soon run out of booster doses, testing kits, and monoclonal antibody treatments. And by April, health providers wont be reimbursed for testing, treating, or vaccinating the uninsured.
Throughout the pandemic, El Rio Health has provided free vaccination and testing sites for low-income and homeless populations. Dr. Joy Mockbee says this outreach will continue, but now there are a couple of administrative hurdles.
