US Embassy Addis Ababa

Addis Ababa, January 28, 2022 – The Embassy of the United States in Ethiopia is pleased to announce the arrival of 1,680,120 doses of the Pfizer vaccine that the United States is providing to Ethiopia through COVAX.  We are sharing these doses safely, equitably, and with no strings attached.  Our singular objective is saving lives.

These two shipments of 840,060 doses each, which arrived at the Bole International Airport in Addis Ababa, via COVAX on January 24 and 26, 2022, bring the number of doses of vaccines provided to Ethiopia by the American people to over 6.1 million since July 17, 2021.

Safe and effective vaccines are our best tool to end the pandemic, and the United States has committed to purchasing and donating 1.1 billion COVID-19 vaccine doses worldwide.  To date, the United States has delivered more than 365 million doses of vaccine to more than 110 countries.  The commitment to provide COVID-19 vaccines to 92 Gavi Advance Market Commitment economies and African Union Member States fulfills U.S. President Biden’s commitment to strengthen the fight against the global pandemic.

As President Biden has said: “The United States is committed to bringing the same urgency to international vaccination efforts that we have demonstrated at home. We are sharing these vaccines to save lives and to lead the world in bringing an end to the pandemic.”

We look forward to continued coordination with the African Union and the Africa CDC to deliver these doses across the continent through the COVAX initiative via their established logistical channels.

  1. This is Good Ole USA as always at its best, It has been lending its generous helping hands to the old country for decades. Ask those two ruffians in Moscow and Beijing to top that. They would be very happy to give you guns on PIA, rather COD, basis so you can kill each other to extinction. We all remember what happened in 1984-85. The former Soviet Union was the only superpower in that country for more than 7 years by the time millions were dying from starvation. Brezhnev and Andropov were only concerned about how many more Migs and tanks they would be able to sell to door knob Mengistu. By 1983-84 millions were starving and dying while the commie demons in Moscow were watching. Then who do you think put a stop to the famine and millions more from starving to death? Good Ole USA, that proved itself to be the land of tireless and endless philanthropists.

    Now, our over qualified daughter/sister Dr. Lia knows what to do with this. She will save 10 millions citizens with it.

  2. Some people really are gullible.

    The US has instantly gone from being an enemy of Ethiopia (the attempted neo-colonism through the TPLF) to sending thousands of their US made vaccines to save the people from the laboratory manufactured Covid-19.

    Is this a covert depopulation agenda?
