Mexico began vaccinating adults aged 60 and over last month and plans on inoculating most of the elderly by April.
Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador announced on Wednesday that he would receive the coronavirus vaccine next week, saying it is now his turn given his age. Mexico rolled out its vaccination campaign late last year, but the programme has been off to a slow start amid delayed shipments and limited supplies. The nation started inoculating Mexicans aged 60 and older last month in mass vaccination sites set up across the country. Lopez Obrador is 67. The president has set a goal to administer at least one shot to most of the elderly by the end of April.More Related News
