15:56 | Lima, May. 2. At least 5 million people nationwide will have been vaccinated by July 28 this year, when President Francisco Sagasti s term in office ends, Health Minister Oscar Ugarte estimated on Sunday.
In this regard, the government official affirmed that 10 out of the 48 million COVID-19 vaccine doses which have already been paid by the Government of Peru and are set to arrive in various shipments within the coming weeks will have been administered by the end of July. But as they are arriving little by little, we estimate that 10 million (doses) will have reached the country by July, which means at least 5 million people will be fully vaccinated, Ugarte said from the National Agrarian University La Molina, where he supervised the vaccination process on Sunday.
