US to provide 500 million COVID-19 vaccine doses to other nations

Vaccines to be donated to 92 lower-income countries and the African Union over the next year.

The Biden administration has reached an agreement with the United States vaccine makers to provide 500 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine to 100 countries over the next year. As he prepared for a round of summit meetings with European leaders, President Joe Biden was under pressure to do more to make US vaccines available to poorer nations. Biden is set to announce the plan at a three-day summit meeting of the Group of Seven (G7) nations to be held in Cornwall, United Kingdom, set to begin on June 10, according to people who spoke to The Washington Post.
