Dear Emma North-Best: Good morning. Earlier today, you sent in request for a status update on FOIA Number 2021-02028. I believe the information you seek is already available on BOP.GOV. In your request, you seek: * Files, including letters, memos and emails, describing or discussing policies, guidance and procedures for providing COVID-19 vaccines to prisoners/inmates and/or staff. * Files mentioning or describing the number of vaccines given to prisoners/inmates and/or staff. BOP’s “COVID-19 Vaccine Guidance” is available at This is a comprehensive plan detailing BOP’s guidance and procedures for providing COVID-19 vaccines to inmates and staff. (https://www.bop.gov/coronavirus/) https://www.bop.gov/coronavirus/ Additionally, information responsive to the second portion of your request can be located at: BOP updates this page each weekday and contains the number of staff and inmates who received the full set of inoculations and the number of doses both distributed and administered. (https://www.bop.gov/coronavirus/) https://www.bop.gov/coronavirus/ Please advise whether this is responsive to your request and, if not, what additional information you wish for BOP to provide. Additionally, please advise whether you still wish for BOP to conduct an email search. Please note if we conduct an email search, due to the number of COVID requests, staffing concerns related to both COVID and FOIA, BOP’s backlog, and the anticipated volume of emails containing relevant search terms, it may take a year or longer until we are able to process any emails. This is an interim response, and, based on your response to the above, BOP will issue a final response and/or search for any remaining records you seek. Respectfully, Gene Baime Supervisory Attorney
