The United States on Monday announced its plans to allocate 55 million doses of Covid-19 vaccines to the rest of the world, including 16 million to Asian nations such as India and Bangladesh.
With the previous allocation of 25 million, the Joe Biden administration has so far announced to distribute 80 million doses of America’s own vaccine supply which the US President had pledged to allocate by the end of June in service of ending the pandemic globally.
Earlier this month, the administration announced the plan for the first 25 million doses that the US has already begun shipping.
For these 80 million doses, the US will share 75 per cent through COVAX and 25 per cent will be targeted to help deal with surges around the world.
