U.S. Doubles Vaccine Purchase, Calls For More Global Shots

The video discusses the US plan to donate 500 million Pfizer COVID vaccine doses globally, announced during a virtual vaccine summit at the UN General Assembly. The vaccines will be manufactured in the US and distributed through the Kovacs program starting next year.

Despite committing to over 1 billion doses, criticism persists regarding the US's initial reluctance to share vaccines until its own population was covered.
