Mexico will begin to vaccinate the population between 40 and 49 years old around the first week of June, when the previous decade ends, those in their fifties. It is a month earlier than the government forecast just a week ago, when they calculated that this section would begin in July. "That is the news," said the president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador. The morning conference has reviewed, as every Tuesday, the situation of the covid in which hopeful data persist. The current parameters are comparable with those recorded in April last year and continue to decline, with 19 consecutive weeks of decline in infections. Mexico has already received more than 34 million and before the end of the month another 6.5 million will be available.

20% of the adult population has already received immunization, that is, 18.3 million people, 64% with the complete cycle. In the middle of the electoral campaign, the Government can display the vaccination campaign as one of the successes of its policy and it does so in its conferences, where it compares the situation with other less advanced countries in the world, such as Argentina, with those who share the process. This weekend the first batches of AstraZeneca produced and packaged between Mexico and Argentina will be released. This morning, the president was accompanied by the health authorities of the South American country with whom negotiations are presumed to be able to increase immunization there, since progress is being made in Mexico at a faster pace. "We are committed to supporting countries that do not have enough vaccines",López Obrador has said before the Argentine Health authorities.

We must help so that he can return as soon as possible ”.

Either because of the biologicals already applied or because of the people who have had the disease, registered in the official statistics or not, the figures for the pandemic are promising.
