今天，拜登总统（President Biden）将宣布美国预定购买5亿剂辉瑞（Pfizer）疫苗，捐赠给92个低收入和较低中等收入国家和非洲联盟（African Union）。这个具有历史意义的行动有助于激励全球抗击疫情的努力。这是一国单独采取的最大规模购买和捐赠疫苗的行动，实属前所未有，体现了美国人民为帮助世界各地人民防范COVID-19新冠疫情的承诺。拜登总统还将要求全世界各民主政体为全球供应安全和有效的疫苗尽一份力量。这次捐赠行动的目标是挽救生命，结束疫情，为今后几天宣布的进一步行动奠定基础。
由于我们实施的疫苗项目，美国正在国内逐步战胜COVID-19新冠疫情。在短短4个半月内，美国64%的成人已接种至少一剂疫苗，每日的死亡率低于疫情的任何时期，我们的经济正在重新反弹。目前，为了战胜全球疫情，美国正在发挥我国民主的力量、美国科学家的聪明才智和美国制造业的实力帮助全世界接种疫苗。
今天宣布的这项具有历史意义的行动紧随拜登总统要求在6月底前从美国的供应中捐赠至少8,000万剂疫苗的决定。此外，美国已经为COVID-19新冠疫苗全球获取机制（COVAX）贡献20亿美元资金，供款数额超过其他任何国家，同时目前正在支持海外当地生产安全和有效的COVID-19新冠疫苗的能力，其中包括通过四方（Quad ）计划从事的工作。
拜登总统已明确指出，边界不可能阻止这场疫情。他坚定地要求我们的国家成为战胜疫苗的军火库。为此，总统今天将宣布的具有历史意义的行动可以保护美国人民和世界各地人民的健康，使他们从这些挽救生命的疫苗中获益。
具体而言，总统今天将宣布的行动要求：
为世界各地的低收入国家提供5亿剂辉瑞疫苗：
今天拜登总统将宣布，美国政府预定购买5亿剂辉瑞-生物科技（Pfizer–BioNTech）的COVID-19新冠疫苗，根据全球疫苗联盟（Gavi）COVID-19新冠疫苗全球获取机制预先市场承诺（Advance Market Commitment）的定义，捐赠给92个低收入和较低中等收入国家和经济体及非洲联盟。疫苗将于2021年8月开始发运。2亿剂疫苗将在今年年底前交付，余下的3亿剂预定2022年上半年交付。美国将这些疫苗发放给全世界各地的低收入和较低中等收入国家，通过COVID-19疫苗全球获取机制交付。 
为较低收入国家提供更多的渠道获得高质量信使核糖核酸（mRNA）疫苗：今天宣布的行动将提供已被证实对COVID-19新冠病毒具有高效并可以抗击所有已知变种的信使核糖核酸疫苗。美国已有千百万人从这些安全和有效的疫苗中获益。这次具有历史意义的捐赠行动将使世界各地最弱势的群体从这些挽救生命的疫苗中获益。 
发挥美国制造业的实力帮助全世界挽救生命：辉瑞公司计划在美国各地的以下设施生产这批5亿剂的疫苗：密歇根州（Michigan）卡拉马祖（Kalamazoo），雇用3,000多名美国工人；堪萨斯州（Kansas）麦克弗森（McPherson），雇用近2,000名美国工人；密苏里州（Missouri）切斯特菲尔德（Chesterfield）和马萨诸塞州（Massachusetts）安多弗（Andover），分别雇用700名和1,800名工人。为挽救美国人生命生产疫苗的美国工人现在将为挽救全世界各地千千万万人的生命生产同样的疫苗。

FACT SHEET: President Biden Announces Historic Vaccine Donation: Half a Billion Pfizer Vaccines to the World’s Lowest-Income Nations
JUNE 10, 2021
500 million life-saving vaccines to be delivered by June of next year, including 200 million to be delivered by the end of 2021
Donation will serve as the foundation for a coordinated effort by the world’s democracies to vaccinate people around the world  
Today, President Biden will announce that the United States will purchase and donate half a billion Pfizer vaccines to 92 low- and lower middle-income countries and the African Union, an historic action that will help supercharge the global fight against the pandemic. This is the largest-ever purchase and donation of vaccines by a single country and a commitment by the American people to help protect people around the world from COVID-19. President Biden will also call on the world’s democracies to do their parts in contributing to the global supply of safe and effective vaccines. The goal of today’s donation is to save lives and end the pandemic and will provide the foundation for additional actions to be announced in the coming days.
Thanks to the success of our vaccination program, the United States is beating COVID-19 here at home. 64% of adult Americans have received at least one shot in just four and a half months, daily death rates are lower than at any point in the pandemic, and our economy is rebounding. Now, the United States is using the power of our democracy, the ingenuity of American scientists, and the strength of American manufacturing to beat the pandemic globally by helping to vaccinate the world.
Today’s historic announcement comes on the heels of President Biden’s donation of at least 80 million vaccines from the United States’ supply by the end of June. Additionally, the United States has contributed two billion dollars to COVAX, more than any other nation—and is supporting local production capacity abroad for safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines, including through the Quad initiative.
President Biden has been clear that borders cannot keep this pandemic at bay and has vowed that our nation will be the arsenal of vaccines. The historic step the President will announce today therefore protects the health of the American people and the people throughout the world who will benefit from these life-saving vaccines.
Specifically, the actions the President will announce today will:
PROVIDE A HALF BILLION PFIZER VACCINES TO LOW-INCOME NATIONS AROUND THE WORLD: Today, President Biden will announce that the U.S. government will purchase half a billion doses of Pfizer–BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines and donate to 92 low- and lower middle-income countries and economies as defined by Gavi’s COVAX Advance Market Commitment (AMC) and the African Union. The vaccines will start shipping in August 2021.  200 million doses will be delivered by the end of this year and the remaining 300 million will be delivered in the first half of 2022. The U.S. will allocate these doses to low and lower-middle income nations around the world, working through COVAX to deliver them.
GIVE LOWER INCOME NATIONS MORE ACCESS TO HIGHLY EFFECTIVE mRNA VACCINES: Today’s announcement will provide mRNA vaccines that have proven to be highly effective against COVID-19, including against all known variants. Tens of millions of Americans have benefited from these safe and effective vaccines and this historic donation will bring the life-saving benefits these vaccines provide to some of the most vulnerable populations around the world.
HARNESS THE POWER OF AMERICAN MANUFACTURING TO HELP SAVE LIVES AROUND THE WORLD. Pfizer plans to produce these half a billion doses in the U.S. at their facilities in Kalamazoo, Michigan, which employs more than 3,000 American workers; McPherson, Kansas, which employs almost 2,000 workers; Chesterfield, Missouri, and Andover, Massachusetts, which employ 700 and 1,800 workers. The American workers who produced vaccines to save American lives will now produce those same vaccines to save the lives of hundreds of millions of people around the world.
