US President Donate 500 Million Doses of Vaccine to Poor Country

Date - 11th Jun 2021

US President Joe Biden announced a donation of 500 million doses of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine to the world's poorest countries to end the pandemic as soon as possible. This donation is a bold step that showed that the United States is aware of its responsibility to the world, as well as to its citizens. The US will provide these half a billion doses with no strings attached. Vaccine donations do not imply coercion of services or potential concessions.

The USA distributes 200 million doses

The US has pledged to buy and donate 500 million doses of Pfizer for distribution through the global COVAX alliance in 92 low-income countries and the African Union. Vaccines will be available by August 2021. The United States plans to dispense 200 million doses by the end of 2021 and 300 million doses in the first half of 2022.

COVAX Facility

It is one of the three pillars of the COVID-19 Tool Access Accelerator (ACT). It was launched in April 2020 by the World Health Organization (WHO), France and the European Commission to fight the Covid-19 pandemic. COVAX is committed to ensuring that people have equal access to Covid-19 vaccines as soon as they become available. Its goal is to provide 2 billion doses by the end of 2021. COVAX is jointly led by Gavi, the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovation (CEPI) and WHO.

It is the basis for collaboration to accelerate development, production and equitable access to Covid-19 tests, drugs and vaccines. It has three main pillars:

  • Vaccines (COVAX)
  • Therapy
  • Diagnostics.
