HHS and our federal partners are working together with state, local, tribal and territorial governments, public health officials, health care providers, researchers, private sector organizations and the public to execute a whole-of-America response to the COVID-19 pandemic that protects the health and safety of the American people and moves the country forward safely.
The President’s National COVID-19 Preparedness Plan focuses on four key goals:
- Protect against and treat COVID-19
- Prepare for new variants
- Prevent economic and educational shutdowns
- Continue to lead the effort to vaccinate the world and save lives

Vaccines & Boosters
Vaccines are the best tool we have to prevent hospitalization and death.
Treatments & Therapeutics
We have a diverse medicine cabinet filled with more treatments now than at any point in the pandemic.
