National Association of Counties
On Friday, June 17, the Biden administration announced additional resources from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to assist families coping with ongoing the infant formula shortage. As trusted messengers, county leaders can utilize these resources to increase outreach, spread awareness and connect residents in need of baby formula:
These resources come at a time when the Biden Administration’s Operation Fly Formula, a multi-agency partnership, has delivered 13 million 8-oz bottles from ten international shipments. The administration also continues to pursue action to reopen the closed Abbot manufacturing facility, increase production, expedite imports and provide additional flexibility to participants in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC).
Counties strongly support federal action to alleviate the current infant formula shortage and create long-term structural changes to prevent future shortages from occurring. NACo will continue to monitor developments related to the formula crisis.
