US ships Moderna vaccine to Pakistan amid Delta variant surge
July 24, 2021
WASHINGTON: As Pakistan deals with a surge in COVID-19 cases due to the delta variant, the Biden administration is sending 3 million doses of the Moderna coronavirus vaccine Friday, set to arrive in the country Sunday, foreign media reported.
The doses, sent through COVAX, the United Nations vaccine-sharing mechanism, are in addition to the 2.5 million doses of Moderna already donated to Pakistan, a White House official told VOA. Pakistan s national vaccination campaign has largely relied on Chinese vaccines, but the US donations are helping officials overcome critical shortages of Western-developed anti-coronavirus shots.
