On Friday, July 16, the United States sent 2 million doses of Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine to Ukraine via the COVAX international vaccine-sharing program, as was reported by Reuters.
“The doses are part of President Joe Biden's promise to share doses of U.S. vaccine with other countries around the world, via COVAX or directly,” – Reuters reports.
"Scientific teams and legal and regulatory authorities from both countries have worked together to ensure the prompt delivery of safe and effective vaccine lots," the message reads.
According to a White House official, the U.S. also plans to send 3.5 million Moderna doses to Bangladesh over the weekend.
