Framed around seven primary goals, President Biden’s plan represents a seminal shift in U.S. response efforts at a critical juncture of the pandemic with thousands of Americans dying each day. Supplemented by multiple Executive Orders and other legal maneuvers, it also implicates a series of legal opportunities and challenges ahead.
