President Biden announced the US will donate 500 million Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine doses globally, aiming to vaccinate 250 million people in low-income countries. This effort positions the US as a leader in global health. The vaccines will start shipping in August, with logistical challenges due to cold storage requirements. The initiative is part of a broader effort to combat the pandemic, with additional vaccine exports planned. Financial costs are estimated at $1.5 billion from the American Rescue Plan. Experts emphasize the need for continued global vaccination efforts.
