The U.S. will share any coronavirus vaccine it develops with the globe after American needs are met, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said Monday during a visit to Taiwan.
"But we anticipate having capacity that, once those needs are satisfied, those products would be available in the world community according to fair and equitable distributions that we would consult in the international community on," he said, according to Reuters.

U.S. companies including Moderna and Novavax are neck-and-neck with international companies leading the race for the coronavirus vaccine. "After our departure from the WHO, we will work with others in the world community to find the appropriate vehicles for continuing to support, on a multilateral and bilateral basis, global public health on the order that the United States has done in the past," Azar said.
Americans will not have to travel far to receive a coronavirus vaccine, and the Trump administration's goal is access for every American through doctor's offices, retail pharmacies, hospitals and health centers, a senior administration official previously Azar, left, and Taiwanese Minister of Health and Welfare Chen Shih-chung answer questions from media at the Central Epidemic Command Center in Taipei, Taiwan, Monday, Aug. 10, 2020.
