President Biden Plans to Send 4M Doses of AstraZeneca’s Coronavirus Vaccine to Mexico

The plan would mark the first time the US has directly supplied vaccines to another country.

It comes as China has moved aggressively to export its vaccines in what is seen as an effort in ‘vaccine diplomacy’.

Canada and Mexico have approved the AstraZeneca jab, but the US has not.

However, the US has a stockpile of the vaccine. Announcing the plan to distribute doses on Thursday, White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said that 2.5m of the US’s 7m jabs will go to Mexico and 1.5m of which will be given to Canada.

Under the agreement, the countries must return any excess doses to the US.
