FOR decades, Lesotho has benefitted from various forms of development assistance from the United States (US) government.
Apart from funding to combat HIV and AIDS and other health programmes, Lesotho has also received multi-million-dollar funding under the US’ Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC).
The first MCC compact in 2007 enabled Lesotho to build new health infrastructure, upgrade existing infrastructure as well as improve access to clean water for its citizens among other things.
Lesotho has also benefited from the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) facility which allows it to export goods duty-free to the US.

The first known allergic reaction to the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine in the U.S. has been reported in Alaska.
A healthcare worker in Alaska has had a severe allergic reaction to Pfizer and BioNTech’s Covid-19 vaccine, but healthcare experts say that the vaccine is still safe for the general public.
The health-care worker in Juneau, Alaska, with no history of allergies experienced flushing and shortness of breath 10 minutes after receiving a shot, the state health department said in a statement Wednesday according to foreign media reports.
The adverse reaction in the person, minutes after taking the Pfizer shot on Tuesday, was similar to two cases reported last week in Britain. However, the Alaskan patient did not have a history of allergic reactions, Lindy Jones, the director of the emergency department in the capital Juneau where the patient was treated, told reporters at a virtual briefing.
