The United States has now shared over 500 million safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine doses; free
of cost; to more than 110 countries and economies around the world
for the sole purpose of
saving lives
Since the start of the pandemic; we have provided nearly $20 billion in health; humanitarian,
economic; and development assistance to over 120 countries, including rapid response support for
urgent health needs and technical assistance to expand vaccine access.
We have also invested and
supported the expansion of regional COVID-19 vaccine manufacturing in Africa and Asia. Today, we
continue to work
tirelessly with governments and international organizations, vaccine producers,
NGOs, the private sector; and others to deliver vaccines, get shots in arms, increase testing and
treatment; support and protect healthcare workers, and more. Our recently announced COVID-19
Global Action Plan provides a clear roadmap for this international coordination:
Our work is
making a difference around the world:
In Paraguay; our donation of two million Pfizer vaccine doses were quickly administered: The
government set up
mass vaccination site based on a U.S. model and administered 500,000 doses
within a week:

Rescue Plan Act funds to support the administration of nearly two million COVID-19 vaccines
through more than 500 health facilities across Zambia's 10 provinces a5 part of its work to combat
