This is because due to technical situations of the pharmaceutical companies, it was not possible to increase production, as well as the hoarding of vaccines by the countries that host the factories. Marcelo Ebrard announced that the 250 thousand dollars that Mexico will donate for the purchase and creation of COVID vaccines, seeks to increase the production and distribution of these to marginalized countries.” If we do not get all countries to have quick access to vaccines soon, then everything will be at equal risk, so it is an ethical issue and it is a security issue,” the Mexican foreign minister said. He called for recognition that the inequitable distribution of COVID vaccines puts the lives of hundreds of thousands of people around the world at risk.” Mexico is going to donate 250 thousand dollars for the time being for this initiative,” he later announced. On the other hand, he announced that Mexico is producing AstraZeneca vaccines in coordination with Argentina, so that the third part of the production will be sent to Latin America and the Caribbean. Commitment endorsed by Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.Finally, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs tweeted that the 250 thousand dollars are added to a resource donated to CEPI.
