WASHINGTON, June 3 (Reuters) - President Joe Biden on
Thursday announced how the United States would share some 25
million of a planned 80 million COVID-19 vaccines with the rest
of the world.
The United States will donate nearly 19 million doses of its
COVID-19 vaccine through the COVAX facility, he said in a
statement.
Through COVAX, some 6 million doses would go to Latin
America and the Caribbean, some 7 million for South and
Southeast Asia and roughly 5 million for Africa.
The remaining doses, amounting to just over 6 million, would
go directly from the United States to countries including
Canada, Mexico, India and Korea, he said.
