The US Embassy in St George\u2019s\u00a0is pleased to announce the delivery of 29,250\u00a0Pfizer Covid-19\u00a0vaccine doses to Grenada this week.<\/p>\n
These vaccines are donated to Grenada by the US\u00a0Government as part of the Biden-Harris Administration\u2019s global vaccine sharing framework. If fully used, this donation could bring Grenada\u2019s fully vaccinated population from 15% to 59%.<\/p>\n
This donation is in addition to the\u00a0more than 45,000\u00a0vaccines provided to\u00a0Grenada\u00a0through the COVAX Facility, which the United States supports with US$4 billion in financial commitments. Since April, COVAX has provided tens of thousands of residents in Grenada and the Eastern Caribbean access to Covid-19 vaccines.<\/p>\n
The delivery of the Pfizer vaccine doses from the\u00a0US\u00a0Government began last week with the delivery of vaccines\u00a0to St Kitts and Nevis (11,700); Antigua and Barbuda (17,550); St Vincent and the Grenadines (35,100), and\u00a0Barbados\u00a0(70,200). Saint Lucia received 52,650 doses\u00a0on 17 August.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are proud to donate these vaccines to our friends in\u00a0Grenada,\u201d said US Embassy Principal Officer Karl Duckworth. \u201cThe United States supported\u00a0Grenada and\u00a0our neighbours\u00a0in the Eastern Caribbean\u00a0first with PPE and testing kits, then through the COVAX Facility, and now through this bilateral donation of vaccine doses. We are committed to returning to health and prosperity together.\u201d<\/p>\n
On 3 August, the Biden-Harris Administration announced it had donated and delivered more than 110 million doses to over 60 countries, exceeding its original framework for sharing 80 million doses and delivering on\u00a0its\u00a0promise of serving as an arsenal of vaccines for the world.<\/p>\n
This pandemic knows no borders and helping our neighbors to contain the virus is critical to protecting the health and economic security of our shared community and stopping the spread of Covid-19 around the globe. All of the vaccines that the United States Government donates are approved by the US Food and Drug Administration and the World Health Organization. These are the same vaccines that all Americans can receive and are the same doses the United States is sharing globally. Scientific teams and legal and regulatory authorities from the United States and the region have worked together to ensure the delivery of safe and effective vaccines.<\/p>\n
As President Biden said, \u201cFrom the beginning of my presidency, we have been clear-eyed that we need to attack this virus globally as well. This is about our responsibility \u2014 our humanitarian obligation to save as many lives as we can \u2014 and our responsibility to our values. We\u2019re going to help lead the world out of this pandemic, working alongside our global partners.\u201d<\/p>\n
