President Biden speaking with Amazon (AMZN) and other tech giants about vaccine distribution - Politico

Biden’s administration, struggling with a messy vaccine rollout, is considering taking Silicon Valley up on its latest offers to help fight the pandemic, Politico reports. According to the report, Amazon (AMZN)) is pitching its expertise in IT and operations to help in vaccine distribution. Airbnb (ABNB) is suggesting it help create “vaccine depots” using its vast network of real estate across the country. And Google (GOOG) is looking to give free ad space to public health authorities.

“We are consulting with many companies, including Amazon, about specific ways they can help execute the President’s national strategy against COVID,” White House spokesperson Kevin Munoz said. “Companies with logistics and technical expertise could help Americans get vaccinated more efficiently and more equitably.”
