US Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar is seen on a screen as he speaks during a news conference in Taipei, Taiwan, Aug 10, 2020. TAIPEI: US Health Secretary Alex Azar said on Monday that any US vaccine or treatment for COVID-19 would be shared fairly with the rest of the world, once the US need has been satisfied.

"But we anticipate having capacity that, once those needs are satisfied, those products would be available in the world community according to fair and equitable distributions that we would consult in the international community on."
