## Federal government role

The federal government is responsible for vaccine inventory maintenance, allocation to states, and centralized distribution to health care providers. The federal government manages a centralized system for ordering, distributing, and tracking COVID-19 vaccines. All vaccines are ordered through the CDC, and vaccine providers receive vaccines directly from a CDC distributor or a vaccine manufacturer.Cite error: Invalid `<ref>` tag; invalid names, e.g. too many The federal government works with state, territorial, and tribal governments, which have final authority over distribution priorities. Governors can choose the order of vaccine distribution for their states.[387]

The federal government also works with national pharmacy chains to operate programs like the Federal Retail Pharmacy Program for COVID-19 Vaccination and the Pharmacy Partnership for Long-Term Care Program.
