• The deliveries mark the first step toward providing ~2 million doses by 2028 through the Global Fund, the U.S. State Department, and Gilead Sciences, which developed the vaccine.  

Disrupted delivery: The vaccine arrives as U.S. aid cuts have weakened health systems鈥� ability to administer it, say health advocates.
