WASHINGTON: The United States on Tuesday (Dec 20) offered to share vaccines with China to stem soaring COVID-19 cases, saying containing the outbreak was in the interest of the world.
It is unlikely that China would accept the offer from the United States, its frequent adversary, after Beijing invested heavily in COVID-19 diplomacy that included shipping its homegrown vaccines around the world.
"It's important that all countries focus on getting people vaccinated and making testing and treatment easily available," State Department spokesman Ned Price told reporters.
"The US is the largest donor of COVID-19 vaccines around the world. We're prepared to continue to support people around the world, including in China, with this and other COVID-related health support," Price said.
"This is profoundly in the interests of the rest of the world. Our COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective, and we have provided them to countries around the world, regardless or in spite of any political disagreements."
Price said that the caseload in China, the world's second largest economy, had both human and economic costs.
