President Joe Biden says the U.S. will share an additional 20 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine with the world in the coming six weeks, raising the U.S.’s total commitment to 80 million doses, according to the Associated Press.
The move comes as domestic demand for shots drops and global disparities in distribution have grown more evident.
On Monday, Biden said that “we know America will never be fully safe until the pandemic that’s raging globally is under control.”
