More than 50 health insurers are now participating in the program, which was initiated to expand vaccination efforts of people in low-income communities.

“The most vulnerable people in our country have suffered disproportionately from the COVID-19 crisis, which is why we have been working side-by-side with industry partners to help millions of vulnerable Americans get vaccinated against the virus,” BCBSA CEO Kim Keck said in the statement.
