<Reporter> The



corona vaccine, which the US announced today (18th) that it will supply the world by next month, is equivalent to 20 million doses of Pfizer, Modena, and Janssen vaccines.



As announced in April, including 60 million doses of AstraZeneca vaccine that has not been approved in the United States, 80 million doses of vaccine will be supplied overseas by next month.



President Biden stressed that if the world doesn't get vaccinated, the United States will end up in danger.
