(CNN) - The U.S. government is updating its latest strategy to fight COVID-19.
The White House will launch the 2022 COVID-19 Global Recovery and Response Framework Thursday.
One official familiar with the initiative said the strategy is geared to end the global emergency and protect health systems around the world.
The plan’s objectives will include vaccinating people with the highest risk and who are hardest to reach to prepare for future variants and health threats.
The official said the White House is requesting $4 billion to implement the strategy.
The announcement was timed to coincide with U.N. General Assembly meetings, so world leaders could discuss and coordinate the plan.
