Just off a conference call with Trump Administration vaccine distribution team. They confirmed that they have not briefed anyone on President-elect Biden's team and have no plans to do so.

This is potentially catastrophic.

First, there needs to be an integration between Trump's team and Biden's team to assure a clean hand-off of a complicated distribution plan.

Second, Biden will likely want to improve the plan, but he can't do that effectively if he isn't read into ahead of time.

In the meantime, I’ve read that Biden and his team are developing a distribution process, and I would assume it would be ready to disseminate on inauguration day. It’s not as if the military and other government agencies will be unprepared to provide their input and/or to put Biden’s plan in place. Also, my guess is that the Trump administration plan is not really a plan but rather a lot of bluster and nonsense., So not sharing information with the transition team may be annoying but it’s not a train smash.

In a sense, the same thing applies to just about any other element of the administration. They wouldn’t be able to believe anything coming out of this administration, so there really is no loss in coordinating with them or talking with them. Sure, it’s not ideal, and it really does suck, and it really is undemocratic, but it’s not as if Joe Biden is coming to the White House Blundering around as if he doesn’t know what to do. He and his team will be up to speed regardless of what barriers the administration throws in their way.
