US to send more COVID-19 vaccines to Mexico amid Delta surge
Al Jazeera
The announcement comes as both the US and Mexico grapple with rising infections and slow vaccination rates.
The United States will send up to an additional 8.5 million coronavirus vaccine doses to Mexico, as both countries continue to grapple with a spike in infections fuelled by the highly contagious Delta variant. Speaking on Tuesday, a day after holding a phone call with US Vice President Kamala Harris, President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said he expected most adults living along the border with the US will have received their second dose of the vaccine within a month. He said both he and Harris agreed upon the importance of reopening the land border, which has been closed since March of 2020.More Related News
