Caracas, June 11 (RHC)-- While the U.S. says it will send a half billion doses of the Pfizer COVID vaccine to send abroad -- with "no strings attached" -- none of the doses will be going to Venezuela, which is under U.S. sanctions. 

Venezuelan Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza said the decision demonstrates Washington’s “continued hatred towards the Venezuelan people.” 

On Thursday, the Venezuelan government revealed it has been unable to receive vaccines through the COVAX program because some of its financial payments have been blocked due to the U.S. sanctions.
