The U.S. Embassy to Mauritius has announced the third successful donation by the United States Government of 203,580 doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.
The vaccine donation was made through coordinated efforts among the United States government, COVAX, and the African Union.
The 203,580 doses of the U.S.-Government donated Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines arrived at the Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam airport this morning via the African Union.
This is the third donation of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines to Mauritius.
A first consignment of the vaccine was delivered in September, and a second consignment arrived on November 15.
The vaccine donation is part of the Biden Administration’s commitment to leading an international and coordinated vaccine effort to end the COVID-19 pandemic.
