AI Summary

This bill requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to prepare and implement a detailed comprehensive COVID-19 vaccination equity plan. The plan aims to significantly increase the proportion of adults and children who are fully vaccinated, including booster shots, in communities with disproportionately low vaccination rates, such as minority, immigrant, and low-income communities. The goal is to eliminate disparities in vaccination rates within 120 days. The plan must include mechanisms to deliver accurate and culturally/linguistically appropriate information about vaccine safety and efficacy, as well as a list of community partnerships and a budget for implementation. The Secretary must provide the plan to legislative committees and make it publicly available within 30 days, and report on progress towards the equity goals every 60 days.
