Mexico is the first country in Latin America to start getting vaccinated against the coronavirus. On the morning of the 24th (local time), María Irene Ramírez, 59, a nurse who works in the intensive care unit of a public hospital in Mexico City, received the first vaccine. “The best gift of the year,” said Ramírez, who was vaccinated in front of a live camera. Mexico received the first 3,000 doses of Pfizer vaccines from Belgium the day before. Including the 50,000 doses that will arrive next week, 1.4 million doses will be received by the end of January next year, and the vaccines will be administered by order of health workers and the elderly. After Mexico, Chile and Costa Rica also began vaccinating Pfizer that day.
Argentina received 300,000 doses of the Russian Sputnik V vaccine this morning. Argentine health authorities approved the use of the vaccine for the third time in the world the day before, after Russia and Belarus. Argentina plans to start vaccinating next week. The sovereign wealth fund ‘Russian Direct Investment Fund’ (RDIF), which supported the development, recently announced that the immunity effect was confirmed to be 91.4% as a result of the inoculation of 20,000 Moscow citizens.
Countries in the Middle East are also speeding up vaccination. Kuwait began a large-scale vaccination for Prime Minister Sheikh Sabah Khalid Al-Saba on the same day. Prior to this, Saudi Arabia (17), Israel (20) and Qatar (23) started vaccination of the Pfizer vaccine, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) started on the 14th, the Chinese pharmaceutical company Sinoparm (China Pharmaceutical Group). It is hitting the developed vaccine.
The vaccine is also spreading in Europe. Pfizer will begin distributing the vaccine to EU member states on the 23rd, and Germany will begin vaccinating it on the 27th. The first supply is 150,000 servings. German Health Minister Jensschfan said: “By the end of the year, 1.3 million doses will be distributed throughout Germany and at least 670,000 doses will be added every week from January next year.” Turkey announced on the 24th that the vaccine developed by the Chinese state pharmaceutical company Synovac showed 91.25% of the preventive effect as a result of a clinical trial involving 7,000 people. Turkey’s Health Minister Fahretin Koza said: “When the vaccine arrives on the 28th, we plan to inoculate 9 million people, starting with healthcare workers.” The Synovac vaccine was approved for urgent use in Brazil, but the final data from the clinical trial was not disclosed, raising concerns about transparency.
The first vaccine arrived in Korea on Christmas 25. FedEx Airlines (FX) 5230, a freighter departing from Memphis in the United States, arrived at the Incheon International Airport cargo terminal at 12:54 p.m. the same day, loaded with 1,000 doses of the modder vaccine. However, it was not for the Korean people, but for the USFK. The AstraZeneca vaccine contracted by the Korean government is expected to be available only from February to March next year. “Compared to many countries that initially secured vaccines by concentrating all their capabilities, our government has not been able to secure sufficient quantities.” You have to work to get it. ”
