Joe Biden, US President, decided to grant Pfizer vaccine as much as half a billion. He will give the vaccine for 92 low- and lower-middle-income countries and the African Union.
On the other side, UK Prime Minister, plan to accommodate five million doses by the end of September. Then 25 million more by the end of 2021. He said that with the completion of the UK’s vaccine programme, UK should distribute some of their surplus doses to those who need them.
“At the G7 Summit I expect my fellow leaders will make alike promises so that, together, we can vaccinate the world by the end of next year and grow back better from Covid-19.”
