The US is purchasing an additional 500 million Pfizer Covid-19 vaccines to donate to lower-income countries starting in 2022
As part of a virtual Covid-19 summit on the margins of the UN General Assembly, President Joe Biden will announce that the US is purchasing an additional 500 million Pfizer Covid-19 vaccines to donate to low- and lower-middle-income countries around the world, a senior administration official said, previewing the summit. The newly announced 500 million doses are on top of the 500 million the US had already committed to sharing with other nations.
"The President will call on world leaders to elevate the global level of ambition to end the Covid pandemic in 2022 and to build back better health security to prevent and prepare for future pandemics," the official said.
