Johana Bautista got access to a Covid vaccine through the company where she works
When her company announced it had purchased coronavirus vaccines, Johanna Bautista made sure to register with the human resources department for a free shot.
The 26-year-old works as a door-to-door sales agent for telecommunications company Movistar.
A few days later she was at a convention centre in Colombia's capital, Bogotá, getting her first dose of the Sinovac vaccine.
"It could take months before the government starts to vaccinate people my age," Ms Bautista said.
"Getting this vaccine today makes me feel very happy and relieved."
