FedEx Delivers 1.35 Million COVID-19 Vaccine Doses to Mexico - Seite 2

“This vaccine shipment will have a direct and positive impact on the communities where our team members live and work to serve our customers in Mexico,” said Juan Cento, regional president of the FedEx Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) Division. “Over the last 17 months FedEx has moved more than 1,213 tonnes of personal protective equipment into Mexico as well as other goods critical to the fight against COVID-19. Delivering these vaccines will help reduce the spread of COVID-19, assist in the region’s recovery, and deliver much needed hope to Mexico.”

Since the pandemic began, FedEx has moved more than 90 kilotons of personal protective equipment (PPE) around the world. In addition to widespread delivery throughout the U.S. and Canada, FedEx is also delivering COVID-19 vaccines to U.S. service members at military bases overseas for the Defense Logistics Agency, and is working closely with the Canadian government and healthcare companies to ship COVID-19 vaccines to Canadians living abroad.

FedEx will continue to deliver lifesaving medicine, personal protective equipment, and other critical supplies until this pandemic is over. The movement of vaccines and relief is aligned with the FedEx Cares 50 by 50 goal to positively impact 50 million people around the world by the company’s 50th anniversary in 2023.
