Mexico begins Covid-19 vaccination amid surge in fresh infections

Mexico became the first Latin American country to roll out a mass Covid-19 vaccination program. This comes amid a surge in new cases. The head nurse at the Ruben Lenero hospital in Mexico City, Maria Irene Ramirez, 59, was the first person in the country to get the Pfizer/BioNTech jab. So far, over 120,000 people have died of Covid-19 in the country, although the true count could be much higher.
