Mexico City, Mar 9 (efe-epa) .- Mexico not only has multiple agreements in place with international pharmaceutical companies but also is working on its own Covid-19 vaccine projects, a task being carried out by several different universities.
Authorities want any successful Mexican-developed vaccine candidate to be christened “Patria” (Fatherland).
Using limited resources and working at a slower pace than the countries and pharmaceutical companies that have developed and are already mass-producing vaccines worldwide, the Biomedical Research Institute (IIBm) of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM); the Michoacan University of Saint Nicholas of Hidalgo; and the Autonomous University of Queretaro, among others, are making strides in their research.
