As of March 17, 2022, the U.S. has provided funding and in-kind support for the global COVID-19 response, including delivering half a billion donated COVID-19 vaccine doses to more than 110 countries, with more donated doses to come. These efforts have been part of the Biden administration’s plan to usher in an end to the pandemic emergency, reduce the impact of COVID globally, and help reduce the chance of new, more-transmissible variants from emerging.
