President Joe Biden will announce Monday that his administration will send millions of COVID-19 vaccine doses to countries around the world, according to CNN.
The announcement will detail that the U.S. will send at least 20 million COVID-19 doses by the end of June, which is on top of the 60 million doses of AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine he planned to share by July 4, according to CNN.
The new doses will be a mix of Moderna, Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson vaccines as well as AstraZeneca vaccines, according to CNN.
This is an important moment for the world, which is struggling to get vaccinated against the novel coronavirus. The New York Times has a constantly updated tracker of how the vaccine rollout has been in countries across the world. We’ve listed some of the countries.
Who has good COVID-19 vaccine rollout?
The United States has been one of the top 10 locations for handing out the COVID-19 vaccine with close to 50% of the population receiving at least one dose of a coronavirus vaccine. But it is far from the best country in the world when it comes to the rollout. Other countries that have at least 30% of their population vaccinated include:
- Seychelles — 63%
- Israel — 56%
- San Marino — 50%
- Chile — 40%
- Bahrain — 39%
- United States — 37%
- Monaco — 31%
- U.K. — 30%
- Qatar — 30%
Who has a slower vaccine rollout?
Other countries across the world haven’t had as good of luck getting the vaccine out to citizens. Some are less than 30% vaccinated, and some are even as little as 10% vaccinated against COVID-19. Here are some countries with less than 15% of people fully vaccinated.
- Barbados — 15%
- Spain — 15%
- Romania — 14%
- Italy — 14%
- Greece — 14%
- Slovenia — 14%
- France — 13%
- Portugal — 13%
- Turkey — 13%
- Poland — 12%
- Germany — 11%
- Ireland — 10%
- Russia — 9.9%
- Mexico — 8.3%
- Brazil — 8.0%
What’s next?
Biden has long suggested the U.S. will become an “arsenal” with COVID-19 vaccines, Bloomberg reports. This will help get some major countries vaccinated and help slow down the pandemic.
