The bloc's ambassador to the Pacific, Sujiro Seam, said 15 Pacific states and four territories would be eligible for the support.
The money will be redirected from existing EU-funded programmes in the Pacific.
Mr Seam said the money would help strengthen countries' preparations, the capacity of their health systems and mitigate the pandemic's socioeconomic impact.
A detailed support programme for the Pacific will be announced "in the coming days".
