Mexico will receive 2.5 million doses of the vaccine and Canada is to receive 1.5 million doses, the official said. 'We're lending a portion of our releasable doses of AstraZeneca vaccine,' the official told Reuters on condition of anonymity. Under the deal, the United States will share doses with Mexico and Canada now with the understanding that they will pay the United States back with doses in return. The White House has focused on vaccinating people in the United States, which has seen more than 530,000 people die from virus. The three authorized vaccine makers - Pfizer Inc/BioNTech SE, Moderna Inc, and Johnson & Johnson - have promised to deliver nearly 500 million doses to the United States by then.
