In a statement released Monday, the White House said most of the 55 million shots will be shared over the Internet COVAX global sharing mechanism. 14 million doses will go to Latin American and Caribbean countries, including Brazil, Argentina and Colombia, while 16 million will go to Asian countries, including India. About 10 million doses will go to Africa, with countries selected in coordination with the African Union.
