as part of President Joe Biden's commitment to play a leading role in ending the pandemic across the globe.
One million doses of Johnson & Johnson's Covid-19 vaccine will ship to Bolivia on Thursday, one million doses of Pfizer will head to Paraguay on Friday and 1.5 million doses of Moderna will ship to Guatemala on Wednesday, according to the White House. The move is part of the President's effort to reassert US leadership on the world stage and have America be an"arsenal of vaccines" in the fight against Covid-19.
White House Covid-19 response director Jeff Zients said last week the Biden administration would be sharing tens of millions of US Covid-19 vaccines this summer to countries around the globe, in addition to the 80 million it has already allocated. The White House has said it has been monitoring and is concerned by efforts by Russia and China to use vaccines to make geopolitical gains.
