The United States is pleased to announce we are preparing to ship an additional 188,370 doses of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine to El Salvador via COVAX on Friday, August 27, at 3:00 a.m. This third shipment adds to the 3 million doses shipped to El Salvador in July and is part of more than $30 million in bilateral pandemic assistance to El Salvador—including Personal Protection Equipment, freezers, increasing testing capacity, and other equipment—since the start of the pandemic.
As President Biden has said, “America will be the arsenal of vaccines in our fight against COVID-19.” We are proud to be able to deliver these safe and effective vaccines to the people of El Salvador. The United States is helping lead the world out of this pandemic, building a world that is safer and more secure against the threat of infectious disease.
