CBSN
The United States is set to deliver 503,100 doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine to the Republic of Kosovo this weekend. Vice President Kamala Harris delivered the news to Kosovo President Vjosa Osmani-Sadriu during a phone call Friday.
The doses, which are expected to arrive Saturday, will come through COVAX and are a substantial addition to the 35,000 doses the U.S. had already delivered in August. In a readout of the call between Harris and Osmani-Sadriu, obtained exclusively by CBS News, the vice president also thanked Osmani-Sadriu for Kosovo's assistance in the evacuation efforts from Afghanistan and expressed her appreciation for the temporarily housing Kosovo has provided to vulnerable Afghans at Camp Bondsteel, in eastern Kosovo.
