Pfizer begins to export US-made Covid-19 shots, first doses sent to Mexico

 The vaccine shipment, produced at Pfizer's Kalamazoo, Michigan plant, marks the first time the drugmaker has delivered abroad from U.S facilities after a Trump-era restriction on dose exports expired at the end of March, the source said.


The US government has been under mounting pressure in recent weeks to provide surplus vaccines to other nations desperately in need as it makes swift progress vaccinating its own residents. Many countries where the virus is still rampant are struggling to acquire vaccine supplies to help tame the pandemic.

Wealthy governments have been trying to stock up on Covid-19 shots from Pfizer and Moderna Inc becauhipped more than 10 million doses to Mexico so far, becoming its largest supplier of Covid-19 vaccine.
