Health Minister Daniel Salinas of Uruguay said on March 9 that the government in Montevideo will send a surplus of Covid-19 vaccines to cities close to the border with Brazil, in order to “shield” Uruguayans from Brazilian coronavirus variants.
Mr. Salinas announced that now Uruguay has surpassed the mark of 100,000 people vaccinated, it is time to improve immunization at the country’s land borders. After taking the first shot of the vaccine himself, the Health Minister said Brazil faces a “serious problem,” which is a “challenge” for his administration.
