HHS Names McKesson a Main Distributor for COVID-19 Vaccines

August 18, 2020

The U.S. government has chosen distribution giant McKesson as a “central distributor” of COVID-19 vaccines and supplies needed to administer them once an approval or emergency authorization is granted.

The arrangement, which is being made under the Trump administration’s Operation Warp Speed initiative, activates a distribution option in an existing contract granted to McKesson in 2016. 

Under the deal, the company will team up with the federal government to help distribute the vaccine, which could involve hundreds of millions of doses.
