Washington: The United States has so far delivered more than 335 million doses of Covid vaccine to 110 countries, figures that match the US population, said a senior White House official on Friday.
It includes 50 million doses sent only in the past two weeks, part of the urge to send millions of more doses throughout the world in the coming days, the official said, added: “Pandemic has shown us that nothing is safe until everyone safe.” The US President has promised in September that his country will contribute a total of more than one billion doses for poor countries.
At the time of Biden said the United States, who has recorded more than 50 million cases of Covid-19, will act as “Arsenal” the world against the virus.
Washington repeats every opportunity that the vaccine is distributed with “no string installed,” implying that this will not occur at the dosage distributed especially by its great rivals, China.
Chinese President Xi Jinping, who denied that he was doing a “vaccine diplomacy”, recently promised a billion dose of Covid vaccine to Africa.
A few days ago, Nicaragua received 200,000 anti-covid vaccine doses developed by the Chinese Laboratory Sinopharm, shortly after breaking relations with Taiwan.
