Biden has appointed Bechara Choucair, the Lebanese lead coordinator, to vaccinate the Americans.
The president-elect of the United States, Joe Biden, who will succeed Donald Trump on the 20th of next month, has appointed Lebanese doctor Bechara Choucair, general coordinator of vaccines against the Corona virus, as part of his task force to respond to the epidemic.
Shaqeer graduated from the American University of Beirut and immigrated to the United States years ago, where he held various positions there. He is currently the CEO of Kaiser Permanente. And he will become America’s # 1 Vaccine Person after Biden appointed him to the role of leading vaccine supply chain strategy, testing and coordination.
Choucair, a family medicine specialist, is a Chicago public health commissioner specializing in improving access to health care as the health director of Kaiser Permanente, the nation’s largest integrated health care delivery system.
Choucair won several awards in the United States, including Crain’s Chicago Business’ Chicago Under-40s Award in 2012, and in 2019 he was named one of the 50 Most Influential People in Health by Modern Healthcare. And it moved between several American universities. He is a member of various civil organizations in America.
Along with Choucair, Biden appointed Carol Johnson and Tim Manning to the pandemic response team, to coordinate the vaccine, testing, and supply chain strategy. These officials will play an important role in Biden’s response to the worsening epidemic, Politico reported Wednesday.
According to the site, it can take years for most Americans to get vaccinated, if the situation continues at current distribution rates. Only about two million people have received the first dose of the two vaccines approved by the competent authorities. That’s far less than the number Trump promised to vaccinate before the end of the year. So Biden appointed this team to accelerate the response and distribute vaccines.
Choucair’s biography, and while it indicates once again the successes achieved by the Lebanese in immigrants, today it is more indicative of the failure of Lebanon, the state and society, to administer a country according to its youth and the aspirations of its children.
It is an honor to join @Joe Biden administration as the White House COVID-19 Vaccine Coordinator during this pivotal moment in the pandemic. I am honored to be part of the team that works to ensure efficient, equitable and effective implementation. https://t.co/miiiST8HCj
