COVID-19 RESPONSE AND RECOVERY
COVID-19 is a global challenge that requires a global response. Together, we
are working to end this pandemic.
As long as the virus is spreading anywhere, it’s a threat to people everywhere,
including Americans here at home. Together we will lead the world out of this
pandemic. That’s why the United States will continue to catalyze political
momentum and enhance coordination to close gaps in the global COVID-19 response.
We must continue to accelerate access to COVID-19 vaccine, diagnostics and
therapeutics, support health workers, secure supply chains, and combat mis- and
disinformation around safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines. The United States,
in partnership with COVAX, the African Vaccine Acquisition Trust, Caricom, and
bilaterally, donated over 687 million safe and effective vaccine doses to
countries and economies around the world.

> Joseph R. Biden
> President OF the United STATEs
The United States is exercising diplomatic leadership in the international
response to the COVID-19 pandemic and its secondary impacts while strengthening
global biosecurity infrastructure to address COVID-19 and future health-related
threats. As the pandemic has evolved, the Administration released an updated
2022 U.S. Global COVID-19 Response and Recovery Framework which aims to end the
emergency phase of the pandemic.

> Antony J. Blinken
> Secretary of State
The United States remains committed to leading the global response to the
COVID-19 pandemic by launching the COVID-19 Global Action Plan, donating
vaccines, and helping every country build back better. Secretary Blinken
launched the COVID-19 Global Action Plan (GAP) in February 2022 to work with
bilateral and multilateral partners to end the acute phase of the pandemic. We
are collaborating closely with GAP partners and the WHO, increasing vaccine
confidence, donating safe and effective vaccines in partnership with COVAX,
Caricom, and African Vaccine Acquisition Trust (AVAT), supporting sustainable
international vaccine manufacturing capabilities, strengthening supply chains
and improving distribution of critical medical supplies, and reforming the
global health security architecture through global and regional efforts.
No country faces the threat of COVID-19 alone, which is why:
* On February 8, 2023 Secretary Blinken hosted the fourth COVID-19 Global
Action Plan (GAP) Ministerial to reflect on progress made in addressing the
acute phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, the work remaining, and to collaborate
with GAP partners on strategies to prevent, detect, and respond to future
global health threats. Foreign Ministries came together through the GAP to
catalyze political momentum around critical gaps in the response and enhance
coordination [Chair’s Statement] [Remarks]
* On September 23, 2022 United States Representative to the United Nations
Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield stepped in for Secretary Blinken to
co-host the third COVID-19 Ministerial with Spanish Foreign Minister Jose
Albares Bueno, Botswanan Foreign Minister Lemogang Kwape, and Bangladeshi
Foreign Minister Abul Kalam Abdul Momen. [Remarks] [Chairs’ Statement]
* On July 19, 2022 Secretary Blinken and Japanese Foreign Minister Hayashi
Yoshimasa cohosted an expanded group of countries and international
organizations to maintain progress and drive action along the six GAP lines
of effort. [Remarks] [Joint Statement]
* On June 15, 2022 the United States convened a GAP Senior Officials Meeting to
welcome an expanded group of partners and prepare action items for the next
Foreign Ministerial. The Secretary addressed the group and thanked them for
their dedication to ending the acute phase of the pandemic. [Remarks] [Media
Note]
* On May 10, 2022 The United States, Senegal, Belize, Germany, and Indonesia
cohosted a second COVID-19 Summit that convened countries, private sector and
NGOs with financial and policy commitments towards recommitting intensity to
the global response, vaccinating the world, protecting the most vulnerable,
and preventing future catastrophes. [Fact Sheet] [Secretary Blinken Remarks]
[President Biden Remarks]
* On February 14, 2022 Secretary Blinken launched the COVID-19 Global Action
Plan (GAP) in partnership with 18 countries and international organizations,
and the World Health Organization. The GAP established six key lines of
effort: get shots in arms, bolster supply chain resilience, address
information gaps, support health workers, ensure acute non vaccine
interventions, and strengthen the global health security architecture.
[Remarks] [Press Statement]
* On December 21, 2021 Secretary Blinken convened several foreign ministers and
representatives of regional organizations involved in the response to the
Omicron variant. They exchanged information to better understand the Omicron
variant, coordinate a global response, and accelerate efforts to combat
COVID-19. [Readout]
* On November 10, 2021 Secretary Blinken hosted a Foreign Ministerial to build
on the momentum generated by the September 22 Global COVID-19 Summit, chaired
by President Biden. Foreign ministers and leaders of international and
regional organizations assess the current state of the global response to
COVID-19, the virus’s impact, the threat of future pandemics, and efforts to
accelerate toward vaccine equity and impact. [Remarks] [Chair’s Statement]
[FPC Briefing with Coordinator Gayle Smith]
* On September 22, 2021 President Biden convened a virtual Global COVID-19
Summit focused on ending the pandemic and building better health security to
prevent and prepare for future biological threats. [Statement] [President
Biden Remarks] [Secretary Blinken Remarks]
* On June 10, 2021 President Biden announced that the United States will donate
half a billion Pfizer vaccine doses to 92 low- and middle-income countries as
well as the African Union. The United States will continue to share doses
from our domestic supply as they become available. [Fact Sheet]
* On May 17, 2021 President Biden announced the United States would donate 80
million vaccine doses to the world by the end of June. [Fact Sheet]
* On April 15, 2021 the United States co-hosted the “One World Protected”
pledge event with Gavi which gathered leaders from across the
globe, took stock of progress to date to ensure equitable and accelerated
global delivery of COVID-19 vaccines, made the investment case for
contributions to COVAX, and encouraged countries and the private sector to
make new commitments and galvanize additional resources. Governments and the
private sector made pledges to provide more than $300 million in financial
contributions, millions of safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine doses to be
shared through COVAX, and other in-kind assistance.

Covid-19 Vaccines Worldwide
GLOBAL VACCINE SHARING
The United States is leading the world in donating vaccines in partnership with
COVAX, the African Vaccine Acquisition Trust, and Caricom.
EXPLORE OUR PROGRESS DONATING VACCINES
Our principles for sharing U.S. vaccines include achieving broad global
coverage; responding to surges and other urgent situations and public health
needs; and responding to as many country requests as possible, including our
neighbors. We are sharing vaccines as a continuation of our decades-long work
to promote global public health and security.
Our work on a vaccine supply framework is guided by a three-part approach.
First, after having successfully secured enough vaccine supply for Americans, we
donated surplus U.S. vaccine supply and encouraged other countries with surplus
supplies to do the same.
Second, we worked with U.S. vaccine manufacturers to significantly increase
vaccine supply for the rest of the world.
Third, we are working with our international partners, investment entities,
pharmaceutical companies, and other manufacturers to create the kind of global
vaccine production and manufacturing capacity and capabilities that can not only
continue to combat COVID-19, but also help prepare the world to respond to
potential future threats.
> America will be the arsenal of vaccines in our global fight against COVID-19,
> just as America was the arsenal of democracy in World War II.
>
> Joseph R. Biden
> President OF the United STATEs
The United States will continue to donate safe and effective doses to countries
and economies around the world. We are also supporting demand creation,
distribution, and administration of vaccines through Global Vax.
SAFETY AND EFFICACY
Getting vaccinated will help keep you, your family, and your community healthy
and safe. Vaccines will help bring this pandemic to an end. Visit vaccines.gov
for more information.
The United States and our partners adhere to internationally accepted scientific
standards for stringency and transparency in clinical trials, which are critical
for maintaining public trust in the safety and efficacy of vaccines.
The U.S. government continues to monitor vaccine safety and efficacy even after
vaccines are authorized for use by our Food and Drug Administration. We
continue to encourage the World Health Organization (WHO) and all foreign
governments to rigorously assess all vaccines for safety, efficacy, and good
manufacturing practices before, during, and after deployment.
MULTILATERAL APPROACH TO BEATING THE PANDEMIC
> The world has to come together to bring the COVID pandemic to an end
> everywhere.
>
> ANTONY J. BLINKEN
> SECRETARY OF STATE
As President Biden has made clear, the United States supports multilateral
approaches and is working as a partner to address global challenges. Alongside
our G7+ partners, the United States and its allies committed to providing more
than 2 billion vaccines for the world. Drawing on our strengths and values, the
United States will continue to work with other countries to shape a recovery
that promotes the health and prosperity of our people and planet at global and
regional levels.
In working to strengthen the WHO and other multilateral entities we are:
* Accelerating global vaccine development and deployment, including by
continuing to donate safe and effective vaccines
* Collaborating with international organizations and industry to support
geographically diversified manufacturing capacity, including through
voluntary licensing
* Improving information, data, and sample sharing, including sequencing new
variants
* Promoting transparent and responsible vaccine sharing practices
* Bolstering vaccine confidence.
* Supporting the Global Fund replenishment
* Partnering with 33 governments, regional organizations and WHO as a part of
the COVID-19 Global Action Plan
In terms of financial and technical support, the United States is the largest
contributor to global health organizations. We reaffirm our support for all
pillars of the Access to COVID-19 Tools Accelerator (ACT-A), its COVAX facility,
and affordable and equitable global access to vaccines, therapeutics, and
diagnostics.

U.S. COVID-19 RESPONSE: STRENGTHENING GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAINS
President Biden is determined to help the global health system build back
better. The United States is committed to working with partners in the private
sector and with foreign governments to strengthen a diversified and resilient
global supply chain, improve key global manufacturing capacities, and close
global gaps in the availability and distribution of vaccines, therapeutics,
testing, and PPE. Additionally, the United States with international partners
are working together to make sure that the components that make these vital,
life-saving drugs can move more smoothly around the world.
Much of this work is guided by a series of Executive Orders and National
Security Memorandum 1, released in the opening weeks of the Biden-Harris
Administration, to provide U.S. leadership on global health and security. It
has been further strengthened by the National Biodefense Strategy and the
Bioeconomy Executive Order for a multifaceted approach to a complex challenge.

LONG-TERM GLOBAL HEALTH SECURITY INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENT AND REFORMS
Advancing global health security and disease outbreak preparedness is vital not
only to protect health and safety, but also to ensure economic prosperity and
defend national security interests. As we have seen, if people become sick from
an infectious disease, jobs can be lost and entire communities suffer.
We are committed to strengthening global health security so that the world may
build back better in order to prevent, detect, and respond to the next
infectious disease outbreak.
As a founding member of the Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA) in 2014, the
United States has invested in training and programs to strengthen countries’
public health infrastructure.
Our commitment to global health builds on a long tradition. Over the past two
decades, the United States has provided more than $140 billion in global health
assistance, including over $100 billion to fight HIV/AIDS through the
President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). Since 2003, PEPFAR has
saved more than 25 million lives. We are the world’s largest contributor to
global health and the international response to COVID-19. Our assistance also
addresses the humanitarian, economic, and social impacts of COVID-19.
Longstanding health partnerships and investments—including through the Global
Health Security Agenda, President’s Malaria Initiative, the President’s
Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance
(Gavi)—have provided the technical expertise and critical infrastructure needed
to bolster preparedness, rapidly respond to COVID-19, and save lives.

We are also evaluating mechanisms that will leverage the current international
political will to meaningfully and urgently improve global health security
infrastructure to prevent, detect, and respond to future public health threats
to include:
* Strengthening the WHO;
* Improving International Health Regulations implementation; and
* Engaging with international partners and the private sector to distribute
vaccines and determine appropriate approaches for safe travel and trade.
* Advancing health security capacity building efforts, including through
national, regional, and global efforts, as well as through U.S. bilateral
partnerships to include but not limited to work through the Quad, APEC and
launch of the Economic and Health Dialogue of the Americas.
