美国正继续努力使美国每一个符合条件的人都能接种疫苗，在国内抗击COVID-19新冠疫情。与此同时，我们还认识到，结束这场疫情意味着每一个地方都必须扑灭病毒。这场疫情不论在世界哪一个地方肆虐，美国人民都仍然处于危险的境地。美国承诺，以我们在国内体现的同样的紧迫感从事国际接种疫苗的工作。
美国已承诺为支持COVID-19新冠疫苗全球获取机制（COVAX）提供 40亿美元。为了提高全球的能力制造更多疫苗，我们缔结了各种伙伴关系。本届政府支持临时豁免COVID-19新冠疫苗知识产权的努力，因为长期而言我们需要更多的公司生产可靠和公平分享的疫苗用于挽救生命。我们已经与加拿大和墨西哥分享了400多万剂疫苗。我在上个月宣布，到6月底止美国将与全世界分享我们8,000万剂的疫苗供应。
今天，我们就我们如何分配其中第一批2,500万剂疫苗提供详情，为扩大全球接种面，解决实际的和可能的疫情急剧上升、疾病造成的沉重负担和最弱势国家的需求等问题打下基础。这些疫苗供应中至少有75%——近1,900万剂——将通过COVAX分享，其中包括为拉丁美洲和加勒比地区提供的约600万剂，为南亚和东南亚提供的约700万剂，以及与非洲联盟（African Union）和非洲各疾病控制与预防中心（Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention）合作为非洲提供的约500万剂。余下的供应，略多于600万剂的疫苗，将直接与出现疫情急剧上升及陷入危机的国家和其他伙伴与邻国分享，包括加拿大、墨西哥、印度和韩国。
我们分享这些疫苗不是为了获得什么好处或让步。 我们分享这些疫苗是为了挽救生命，通过我们的榜样和我们价值观的力量引领全世界结束这场疫情。我们将继续尊重科学，与我们的民主伙伴密切合作，共同协调多边努力，包括通过7国集团（G7）。
美国强大的领导作用对当前结束这场疫情并为明天增进全球卫生安全——更好地预防、监测和应对下一次威胁至关重要。在我们共同抗击这种病毒的过程中，美国将成为全世界疫苗的军火库。今后几天，随着我们从今天宣布的发放疫苗工作中获得的经验，我们将就未来如何分享疫苗提供更多的详情。我们将继续尽我们的一切努力，建设一个更安全和更有保障的世界防范传染性疾病造成的威胁。

Statement by President Joe Biden on Global Vaccine Distribution
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
June 3, 2021
As the United States continues our efforts to get every eligible American vaccinated and fight COVID-19 here at home, we also recognize that ending this pandemic means ending it everywhere. As long as this pandemic is raging anywhere in the world, the American people will still be vulnerable. And the United States is committed to bringing the same urgency to international vaccination efforts that we have demonstrated at home.
Already the United States has committed $4 billion to support COVAX, and we have launched partnerships to boost global capacity to manufacture more vaccines. My administration supports efforts to temporarily waive intellectual property rights for COVID-19 vaccines because, over time, we need more companies producing life-saving doses of proven vaccines that are shared equitably. We have already shared more than 4 million doses of vaccine with Canada and Mexico, and last month, I announced that, by the end of June, the United States will share 80 million doses of our vaccine supply with the world.
Today, we’re providing more detail on how we will allocate the first 25 million of those vaccines to lay the ground for increased global coverage and to address real and potential surges, high burdens of disease, and the needs of the most vulnerable countries. At least 75 percent of these doses—nearly 19 million—will be shared through COVAX, including approximately 6 million doses for Latin America and the Caribbean, approximately 7 million for South and Southeast Asia, and approximately 5 million for Africa, working in coordination with the African Union and the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention. The remaining doses, just over 6 million, will be shared directly with countries experiencing surges, those in crisis, and other partners and neighbors, including Canada, Mexico, India, and the Republic of Korea.
We are sharing these doses not to secure favors or extract concessions. We are sharing these vaccines to save lives and to lead the world in bringing an end to the pandemic, with the power of our example and with our values. And we will continue to follow the science and to work in close cooperation with our democratic partners to coordinate a multilateral effort, including through the G7.
Strong American leadership is essential to ending this pandemic now, and to strengthening global health security for tomorrow—to better prevent, detect, and respond to the next threat. The United States will be the world’s arsenal of vaccines in our shared fight against this virus. In the days to come, as we draw on the experience of distributing the vaccine doses announced today, we will have more details to provide about how future doses will be shared. And we will continue to do all we can to build a world that is safer and more secure against the threat of infectious disease.
