President Joe Biden said his administration will donate another 17 million doses of Johnson & Johnson’s coronavirus vaccine to the African Union, after criticism that the U.S. hasn’t been more generous.
Biden made the announcement at a meeting Thursday with Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta at the White House. Delivery of the single-dose J&J shot is expected in the coming weeks, according to a senior administration official who briefed reporters on condition of anonymity.
