Could Provider Relief Fund payments have been used to support COVID-19 vaccine distribution?

Provider Relief Fund payments may be used to support expenses associated with distribution of a COVID-19 vaccine licensed or authorized by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that have not been reimbursed from other sources or that other sources are not obligated to reimburse.  Funds may also be used ahead of an FDA-licensed or authorized vaccine becoming available.  This may include using funds to purchase additional refrigerators or freezers, personnel costs to provide vaccinations, and transportation costs not otherwise reimbursed.
