KIEV, Nov. 6 – The United States will donate Ukraine 930,000 doses of H1N1 vaccine out of domestic reserves in early December, the U.S. Embassy's press service said on Friday.
"In an effort to stop the global spread of pandemic 2009 H1N1 influenza virus, the United States is planning to donate 10 percent of US domestic H1N1 vaccine supply, as it becomes available, to a WHO-led H1N1 vaccine initiative. The US donation to WHO, equivalent to 25 million doses of vaccine, would be valued commercially at approximately $10 million," the embassy said in a statement.
