Peru's Congress banned former president Martín Vizcarra, following allegations of receiving the COVID-19 vaccine by jumping and cutting the queue for the said jab. The former president of the country was banned by the members of the congress in a unanimous vote of 86, Reuters reported.
It can be remembered that the ex-president was reported to receive two shots of COVID-19 vaccines in October 2020. Apart from Vizcarra, his family, government consultants, cabinet members, and lobbyists also received the COVID-19 jab despite the vaccine queue. The vaccine scandal in Peru was called "vaccine-gate."
