TL;DR

The Biden administration is working to preserve funding for key components of the federal coronavirus response in negotiations with House Republicans over a deal to raise the debt limit. They are seeking to protect roughly $5 billion in funding for a program to develop the next generation of coronavirus vaccines and treatments, as well as more than $1 billion in funding for an initiative to offer free coronavirus shots to uninsured Americans. House Republicans want to reclaim tens of billions of dollars in unspent funds from previously approved Covid-19 relief legislation as part of a debt limit deal.
