USA Today: A National System to Prioritize COVID-19 Vaccines has Largely Failed as States Rely on Their Own Systems

Aleszu Bajack and David Heath
March 3, 2021

HCCI’s President and CEO Niall Brennan was quoted in a USA Today article on failures of the federal COVID-19 vaccination system.

From the article: “‘They literally thought their job stopped with vaccine development,’ said Niall Brennan, CEO of the Health Care Cost Institute and former chief data officer for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. ‘No, your job stops when the American population is vaccinated. It’s a massive abdication of job responsibility.’”
