The White House is committing an additional $ 10 billion to try to boost vaccination rates in low-income, minority and rural areas across the country.

The effort, which is funded by the $ 1.9 trillion aid package adopted earlier this month, will include $ 6 billion to fund community health centers to scale up COVID-19 vaccination, testing, and other preventive health services for populations with an increased risk of contracting the virus.

President Joe Biden's administration, which will begin distributing money to 1,400 centers nationwide in April, said health centers could also use the funds to change and improve infrastructure and add mobile locations.

Besides, the Biden administration said it was committing $ 3 billion to build confidence in vaccines. The money, which will be distributed across 64 jurisdictions, can be used by rural faith-based organizations and non-profit food aid and housing organizations in high-poverty communities to conduct outreach and education campaigns to encourage people to get vaccinated.

According to the White House, about $ 300 million is allocated to local healthcare providers to support COVID-19 prevention and control, with an additional $ 32 million for training, technical assistance and evaluation.
