United States plans to buy half a billion Pfizer vaccines in order to donate them to low- and middle-income countries, senior Biden administration officials told Reuters today (Wednesday).

According to officials, President Biden is expected to announce the huge contribution during a virtual conference to be held today with world leaders and health experts on the Corona plague.

The decision to donate will increase the total number of vaccines the United States has donated to more than a billion countries around the world.

The donation will be donated by the World Health Organization's Cubax's initiative which collects donations for the vaccine of the population in countries where the government is unable to purchase vaccines.

The initiative incorporates donations from private citizens, pharmaceutical companies as well as governments from around the world.

The half-billion previous vaccine doses purchased by the Biden administration have already been delivered to 100 different countries.

The Biden administration is expected to put pressure on more rich countries to donate vaccines in order to reach the global vaccine target set by the US and bring about a retreat of the corona plague.

Yesterday, President Biden addressed the fight against the Corona plague at the United Nations General Assembly in New York, announced that the United States will lead the effort to vaccinate the people of underdeveloped countries, and called on the countries of the world to shoulder the end of the plague.
