US shipped 400 M COVID vaccine doses worldwide- White House

By Nidz Godino

“Four hundred million doses is more than every country, and is on top of expanding manufacturing, working with companies to get their vaccines out to the most vulnerable, and getting shots in arms,” White House spokesman Kevin Munoz tweeted ” work is far from over, and  US will continue to lead this effort.”

The United States has shipped 400 million COVID-19 vaccine doses to countries in need as part of its earlier pledge to donate more than 1.1 billion doses to low-income countries.

The latest batch includes 3.2 million doses of Pfizer Inc and BioNTech’s vaccine to Bangladesh and 4.7 million doses to Pakistan.

The Biden administration had previously vowed to donate a second tranche of 500 million doses to the COVAX global vaccine sharing program, raising its total pledge to more than 1.1 billion COVID vaccine doses, with the latest batch expected to start shipping this month. 

Global health experts have said at least 5 billion to 6 billion doses are needed by poorer countries to help protect them against  novel coronavirus amid  ongoing pandemic.

Overall,  COVAX facility, backed by  World Health Organization and Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization, has delivered more than  billion doses to 144 countries and aims to achieve 70% COVID-19 immunization coverage by mid-2022.

Health experts have criticized rich countries for not doing enough, singling out  United States in particular for pushing booster shots for fully vaccinated Americans while much of the world’s population still lacks access to vaccines.

Experts and leaders from developing nations have also warned that vaccine hoarding by wealthy nations could lead to new coronavirus variants.
