US to buy 500 million doses of Pfizer's coronavirus vaccine to donate to other countries

The government chaired by Joe Biden will buy

500 million doses of its vaccine against COVID-19

from the pharmaceutical company Pfizer

to donate them to other countries,

The Washington Post reported on Wednesday, citing three people familiar with the plan.

The president is expected to announce this decision at the UK G-7 meeting this week, amid growing

calls for the United States and other wealthy countries to play a greater role in the global supply of vaccines.

This is how Mexico will distribute the vaccines against COVID-19 donated by the United States.
