A healthy dose of support

A shipment of 500,000 doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine donated by the US government to Jordan is seen being unloaded at Queen Alia Airport on Saturday.

These 500,000 doses help fufill the White House global vaccine sharing allocation plan announced on Jun 3, 2021 that prioritised an allotment for Jordan, according to a US embassy statement.

The donation reflects the importance of the US-Jordan relations and demonstrates the Biden-Harris administration’s commitment to share US vaccine supply with the world, the statement said.

Health Minister Feras Al Hawari and Charge d’Affaires at the US embassy Michael Hankey hold a press conference at the airport.
