The White House on Monday announced plans to share 55 million coronavirus vaccine doses with more than 50 countries.

Under the plans, about 41 million more doses would be shared with COVAX, the World Health Organization-backed initiative to distribute vaccine doses worldwide.

An additional 14 million doses would go to "regional priorities and other recipients" such as Colombia, Argentina, Haiti, other CARICOM countries, Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Panama and Afghanistan.

The 55 million is the remaining of 80 million doses that President Joe Biden has pledged to allocate by the end of this month.
