A series of Vaccine sharing commitments are given when rich countries increase their efforts to help the world against Covid-19, but not so weird.
Immediately after arriving in England to start the first 8-day tour, President Joe Biden on June 10 announced that the US will donate 500 million doses of PFIZER vaccines for nearly 100 low-income countries.
Notice of sharing of 500 million doses of vaccine worth $ 3.5 billion was announced after the US began to deploy a plan to distribute 80 million excess vaccine doses to the world through Covax, vaccine programs due to the health organization
The donation plan was launched a month after the US supporting the vaccine patent, showing that Washington is serious with commitment to perform moral and geodetic tasks, to help the world escape the epidemic

After the United States, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on June 10 said it would sponsor at least 100 million doses of Vaccine Covid-19, with 5 million doses started in the coming weeks.
These consecutive commitments are given in the context of having more and more calls for rich countries to do more to share vaccines with the rest of the world.
We need a global vaccination plan.
Professor Peter Hotez, Principal of the National Tropical School of Tropical Medicine, Baylor Medical School in Houston, in Twitter Post on June 10, offering data shows the efforts of rich countries, including the US,
1.1 billion people live in the Lower Saharan region of Africa, 650 million people in Latin America, half a billion in low-income and average countries in Southeast Asia.
Hotez told VnExpress that the United States needed to do more to express the global leadership role in the fight against Covid-19.
The global vaccination picture shows the two dark areas.
But in the US, the distributed vaccine number has reached more than 300 million doses.
Hannah Elyse Sworn, senior analyst of S. Rajaratnam International Research School (RSIs) at Singapore Nanyang University of Technology, said Western countries quickly realized their outstanding development compared to
Shock before serious outbreaks and high mortality rates in countries such as the US, England and many other places in Europe have made these governments hesitate to share vaccines for developing countries before
More than 2.3 billion doses of vaccines have been distributed globally, but WHO estimates that the world will need 11 billion doses to achieve 70% vaccination threshold, the level can create community immunity to help repel the virus.
Nearly 30% of the world's population has been vaccinated, but this does not show any success of Covax.
Expert RSIs added that in the past few weeks, many contributions and commitments have been given when many developed countries have achieved high vaccination rates.
However, Sworn said the commitments so far was not enough to achieve the degree of vaccination needed to combat the next outbreaks, as well as new NCOV strains and greater demand for vaccines.
