The White House announced its new strategy in tackling the latest coronavirus subvariant. On Tuesday, the Biden administration’s COVID-19 response team outlined its mitigation plan for the BA.4 and BA.5 subvariants of the virus.

The outline includes changes and convenient access to vaccines, boosters and treatments while providing Americans with patient awareness and increasing protection to the immunocompromised. According to the White House, the subvariants are responsible for the majority of new cases sweeping the nation.

“Given the virus and how quickly it’s evolving, it continues to pose a challenge and we have to constantly be updating these vaccines to meet what’s happening,” said Dr. Ashish Jha, White House COVID-19 Response Coordinator. “We need a strategy to get to a very different place. The administration has been working across government on this.”

This comes after the FDA approved a second booster shot of either the Moderna or Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines for the elderly and immunocompromised people back in March.

As most of the country returns to normal, the Biden administration predicts another COVID-19 pandemic is on the horizon. The President recently promoted vaccines for infants while providing an ominous warning of what’s yet to come.

Joe Biden visited a Washington, D.C. vaccination clinic alongside White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator Ashish Jha to hail the latest FDA approved shots on Tuesday. Children aged six months to 5-years-old are now eligible to receive the Pfizer and Moderna doses.

During his speech, the President gave a stern warning against those who question the necessity of the vaccine for the age group.

“I know some parents might have questions, I encourage you to talk to a doctor after you make a plan to get your child vaccinated for your children over five years of age,” Biden stated. “For everyone else, get your shots, get your boosters. And let’s be clear, elected officials shouldn’t get in the way and make it more difficult for parents who want their children to be vaccinated.”

Biden’s remark was a thinly veiled jab at Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) who has expressly said his state has no plan to distribute vaccines to children under the age of five.

According to UNICEF, 0.4 percent of those infected with COVID under the age of 20 died from the virus with 42 percent of that figure being made up of children aged nine or younger.

Although most municipalities have returned to pre-COVID protocols, Biden asserted his administration still requires funding to fight the virus. When asked why, Biden warned the next plague may be just around the horizon.

“But we don’t just need more money for vaccines for children eventually, we need more money to plan for the second pandemic,” he asserted. “There’s going to be another pandemic, we have to think ahead. And that’s not something the last outfit did very well, that’s something we’ve been doing fairly well. That’s why we need the money.”

The next most prevalent virus in the news cycle, Monkeypox, has had less than 3,000 reported cases worldwide since early May.
