Vaccination against infection by the new coronavirus (Corona 19) has also started in Latin America. Mexico, Chile and Costa Rica marked the beginning.

On the 24th (local time), the vaccination was broadcast live on television in a hospital in Mexico City, the capital of Mexico, according to the United States CNN broadcast. “This is the best gift I can receive in 2020,” 59-year-old local nurse María Irene Ramírez said on the air. “It makes me more secure and gives me the courage to continue the war against invisible enemies.” In Mexico, more than 120,000 people died from Corona 19.

That day, Chile also immediately vaccinated medical workers with the Corona 19 vaccine developed by Pfizer and Bioentech. Julema Riquelme, a 46-year-old local nursing assistant, said he was vaccinated in the capital while Chilean President Sebastián Piñera watched, and “many emotions cross.” President Piñera told him: “You are everyone’s hope.”

Chile has purchased 30 million vaccines from three suppliers. This is the amount that more than two-thirds of the population can be vaccinated for the first half of next year. According to the president’s side, he arrived at the Santiago airport shortly before 7 in the morning of the day.

Costa Rica will also be vaccinated by Pfizer and Bioentech on the same day.

Meanwhile, Argentina has secured 300,000 doses of Sputnik V, a Russian vaccine. Argentina has approved the vaccine for the third time after Russia and Belarus. The vaccination is expected to start in a few days.
