The Biden administration will offer COVID-19 vaccines to migrants who have been taken into custody at the U.S.-Mexico border.
The plan, which has been confirmed by the Department of Homeland Security, could extend to thousands of illegal immigrants who come cross the U.S. border.
DHS says it will initially be able to provide up to 2,700 vaccines per day, and increase that figure to 6,000 daily by the end of May.
Officials are currently preparing for an influx of migrants at the border as the administration moves to reevaluate a Trump-era pandemic emergency rule called Title 42, which allows authorities to turn away migrants arrested at the border.
