Earlier, the White House, through press secretary Jen Psaki, has said U.S. President Joe Biden has made clear that he aims to ensure that the vaccines are accessible to every American, without any intent as of the moment to share doses to neighboring countries.
The World Health Organization (WHO) on Monday granted an emergency authorization to the COVID-19 vaccine made by AstraZeneca and Oxford University, giving additional hope that the end of the global pandemic could be in sight.
Brazil's health regulator Anvisa approved two million doses of AstraZeneca vaccine imports from India on late Saturday even though the jab is yet to be approved for use in the country.
