"Yesterday our nation observed 2 milestones in the coronavirus crisis.

I applaud the relentless efforts that have enabled the first doses of a COVID-19 vaccine to be administered to Americans, however, we can't bring back the 300,000 Americans we have lost to this deadly virus."

"It is now incumbent upon us to do all we can to prevent the death toll from rising further.

We must ensure that vaccines are distributed effectively, efficiently, and equitably to stop the spread of the virus in every community--especially those that have been hit the hardest."

"Public officials must use all tools at their disposal to promote mask-wearing, social distancing, testing, contact tracing, and other science-based public health measures.

All Americans must act responsibly to protect themselves and their fellow citizens."

"Millions of Americans won't be able to safely resume normal economic activity until sufficient vaccinations are administered to bring the pandemic to an end.

Without further assistance from Congress, more businesses will close and more families will face hunger and homelessness."

"While the beginning of the vaccine effort is a time for hope, it can't be a time for complacency. American lives & livelihoods depend on our actions. In memory of the 300,000 Americans we have lost, our nation must come together to prevent further harm & enable a strong recovery."
