Nearly a year after the first case of coronavirus was confirmed in the
U.S., officials began issuing the first round of coronavirus vaccines
this week. POLITICO’s Dan Diamond and Rachel Roubein break down what the
historic moment means for frontline workers — and why getting the whole
country vaccinated won’t be easy. Plus, Biden taps Brenda Mallory to
lead the White House Council on Environmental Quality. And the Federal
Reserve is giving a slightly better forecast for the economy.

Jeremy Siegel is a host for POLITICO Dispatch.
