COVID-19 Vaccines Secured for USCP Personnel

February 4, 2021

Statement of Acting Chief Yogananda Pittman

"Thanks to the efforts of the Congressional Leadership, especially House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the Administration, enough doses of the COVID-19 vaccines have been secured to vaccinate all USCP personnel. I also want to acknowledge retired Lt. General Russel Honoré, who is leading the external review of Capitol Complex security at the Speaker's request, for his assistance with this effort.

"The Department expects delivery of the vaccines to occur shortly, and is already working with the Office of Attending Physician on logistics to administer them to our employees as quickly and safely as possible.

"The Department is grateful for the continued support of the Congressional community, especially during these unprecedented times, and I am tremendously grateful for the dedication of our officers who have worked tirelessly and sacrificed to uphold our mission."
