Ebrard indicated that the next shipment will be the following Tuesday, December 29 and so on each week the health authorities will be informed how it will be applied.
Vaccination in Mexico will begin with health workers, as a priority group because they directly care for people infected with COVID-19.
The next group depends on the risk of acquiring COVID, such as age, diabetes, hypertension, smoking, among other comorities, so it will continue later with the group of people aged 80 and over, and so on, for decades.
