State, territorial, and tribal health agencies have received about $12 billion for coronavirus response from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention this year in emergency funding ordered by Congress, money that covered testing and contact tracing, among other needs. In September, the CDC announced $200 million in grants specifically for vaccine planning. Even with all that, organizations representing state health officials and immunization managers say $8.4 billion more is needed to run the largest mass vaccination effort in recent memory.
