Statement by HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra on Release of Department’s Division-Level COVID-19 Vaccination Data
Some HHS Divisions exceed the Department’s vaccination rate of more than *97 percent.
As a follow up to the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) release last week of federal COVID-19 vaccination data for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and other federal agencies, today HHS released vaccination data for its Divisions, which show that some have exceeded the Department’s vaccination rate of more than *97 percent. In response, Secretary Xavier Becerra released the following statement:
“Some of our largest Divisions now have vaccination rates that exceed the Department’s vaccination rate of more than 97 percent. So, no matter how you slice and dice the data at HHS, nearly every member of our workforce has answered the President’s call, and I couldn’t be prouder.
“This data, and the data released last week by OMB, prove that federal vaccine requirements work. Because tens of thousands of HHS employees followed the science, they are safer today and so are their families, workplaces, and communities.”
