Expecting the post-holiday surge

         1. I have included the European data in slides 3 and 4 – most of the European
            increases being driven by the UK
         2. You can also see from slide 3 the rate of rise of our Fall/winter surge was more
            dramatic consistent with the USA having its own more infectious variant

Things starting to move with my involvement with the Biden team. Biden is concerned
about making sure that he reaches 100 million doses of vaccine in the 1st 100 days. We are
meeting by zoom with him tomorrow and today and tomorrow we had/will have pre-brief
meetings to discuss our plan – led by Jeff Zients. Present were Natalie Quillian, Vivek Murthy,
Marcella Nunez-Smith, Rochelle Walensky, David Kessler, Asma Mirza, and Sonya Bernstein.
Plan is to develop community vaccination centers, use mobile units to get to rural areas, etc.
