RIO DE JANEIRO, March 19 (Reuters) - Brazil has not yet
asked the U.S. government for spare COVID-19 vaccines, two
people with knowledge of the situation said on Friday, despite
Washington agreeing this week to send roughly 4 million doses of
AstraZeneca's shot to Mexico and Canada.
Neither the Brazilian president's office nor the Foreign
Ministry replied immediately to requests for comment. The U.S.
State Department also did not respond immediately to questions.
