United Airlines has delivered over 2 million doses of Covid-19 vaccines on a donated cargo-only flight from Chicago O’Hare to La Aurora International in Guatemala City in an effort to help boost the country’s vaccine rate. The shipment follows the Biden Administration’s announced goal to share at least 80 million US vaccine doses globally.
United says it has played an important role in the global supply chain and transportation of medical goods and medical personnel throughout the pandemic, including being the first commercial carrier to transport the vaccine into the US last year. Since then it has carried tens of millions of doses of the vaccine throughout the world.
