HHS Reports Ventilator Stockpile Is Full
2nd September 2020
The federal government has filled the national stockpile with enough ventilators, according to the Department of Health and Human Services.
The agency told The Hill that it will end some of its remaining contracts for ventilators because it has met its quota for the stockpile.
Earlier this year, the Trump administration awarded $3 billion in emergency contracts to obtain more ventilators as the coronavirus outbreak surged across the country.
