Biden announces US to vaccinate South Korean forces

U.S. President Joe Biden and South Korean President Moon Jae-in pledged to form a comprehensive partnership to "accelerate vaccine rollout to the world." Biden announced that the U.S. would vaccinate 550,000 South Korean service members who serve alongside U.S. forces on the peninsula. "Both for their sake as well as the sake of the American forces," Biden said of the vaccine offer. This marks the first commitment by the Biden administration for what it plans to do with the 80 million vaccine doses it aims to distribute globally in the next six weeks.
