Mexico first in L. America to deliver COVID vaccine
Mexico became on Thursday the first country in Latin America that has performed the vaccination against the COVID-19 as part of the government’s strategy to ensure immunity among healthcare workers.
Mexico, next to Chile and Costa Rica, is in the process of receiving the first 250,000 doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech jab that has already been approved in several other countries worldwide, including the United Kingdom, the United States, as well as the European Union. By the end of January, around 1.4 million vaccine doses should be distributed across Mexican hospitals.
More than 10,000 COVID-19 cases have been detected on average in Mexico over recent days, the highest since the start of the year. Furthermore, Latin America has been broadly impacted by the coronavirus pandemic, with Brazil, Argentina, Colombia and Mexico suffering the worst health crisis.
