Breaking the Vaccination Record/Go Vote

Vaccine record. President Andrés Manuel Lopez Obrador announced that yesterday the country broke its record for the number of vaccines administered. A total 816,380 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine were administered. The ultimate goal is to vaccinate all citizens over 18 years of age and the president mentioned that the country is close to achieving that goal at the current rate. “On Saturday, we finished 50 and over and we continue with 40 and 49, and pregnant women, and we are going to comply so that in October, everyone over 18 years of age will be vaccinated, even with one dose.”

Mexico at peace. López Obrador said that the country is at peace and there is no risk of instability prior to the legislative elections on June 6. López Obrador added that there would be no vaccinations given during the elections and he again urged citizens to vote. “You have to go out to vote, and you don’t have to be afraid, we have information about what is happening in the country, you can go out to vote without risk; you have to vote. You have to participate.”

Record remittances. The president said that estimates for remittances that Mexicans send back home from the US point to a record US$4.5 million in May. This would be equivalent to growth of 31 percent.
