0 countries are relying on vaccine exports from the US.

0 countries planned their rollouts around vaccine exports from the US.

0 countries’ planned rollouts have been upended by new US export controls.

The impact will be more evident in a few months when the US begins playing vaccine diplomacy with under supplied EU countries.

In a few months at least one of two things will have happened:

1. The EU managed to sort out its logistical issues

2. Russia and China already stepped in (as they already do in some places), leaving no room for Washingtonian vaccine diplomacy
