COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution

Since March, 2022 the United States has shared 250,380 safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine doses with the people of Comoros – free of cost. This includes 250,380 Pfizer doses. Of the 250,380 vaccine doses, 100% were donated in partnership with COVAX.

President Biden committed the United States to be the world’s arsenal for vaccines, leading an international and coordinated vaccination effort, and announced that the United States will provide 1.2 billion doses of safe, effective vaccines – free of cost – to meet global needs and save lives now. The United States is working with other governments, global initiatives including COVAX and the African Vaccine Acquisition Trust (AVAT), and other partners to get COVID-19 vaccines to where they are needed most.
