MEXICO CITY (AP) Mexico’s president lashed out Tuesday at criticism of the country’s coronavirus vaccination effort, dismissing a pair of scandals as the work of conservative opponents or grumpy “elderly people who go grumbling because they don’t like to be vaccinated.”
Despite some successes for example, all shots are free there have been problems with the country’s uneven vaccine roll-out, which employs vaccination sites of varying quality and vaccines from half a dozen different manufacturers.
Mexico’s first round of vaccinations targeted health care workers, and the current second round is for those over 60.
