  • The Biden administration will take a leadership role in galvanizing further global contributions to COVAX by releasing an additional $2 billion through 2021 and 2022, of which the first $500 million will be made available when existing donor pledges are fulfilled and initial doses are delivered to AMC countries.

    In close cooperation with Gavi, this additional $2 billion will serve to expand COVAX's reach.
