The US doesn't export any COVID vaccines. Neither does the UK. Pretty much the entire rest of the world is supplied by Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany. (Russia and China are exceptions in that they have their own, separate vaccines).
- __s 6y agoRussia's exporting theirs: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1123927/sputnik-v-exports-from-russia-by-country https://www.statista.com/statistics/1123927/sputnik-v-export... China's also exporting their sinovac vaccine
- kuschku 6y agoThat's correct, but Russia's vaccine isn't approved in most countries as every batch so far has had very unreliable QC with significantly different results. As I said, those are exceptions, the vast majority has no option other than to wait for the US to slowly start exporting, or use the european sources.

- kuschku 6y agoWe discussed this already in our other comment chain in this thread :)
- CubsFan1060 6y agoYes. I just think it's important to have accurate information.
- Spooky23 6y agoI’m sure you’ll see that change as J&J ramps up. The supply chain around Pfizer is very difficult. Export beyond Canada in volume sounds like a tough proposition (it requires a dry ice cold chain). But.. two dose requirements don’t work for hesitant populations, which is where the US is now. I would guess that US demand for Pfizer will drop and exports of Pfizer to Canada will happen as J&J is deployed more. (At least until kids can get Pfizer)
