LIMA, Peru - When interim president Francisco Sagasti finally unveiled Peru s first coronavirus vaccine deal last month, Peruvians wearied by nearly a year of twin health and economic crises compounded by the country s recent political turmoil glimpsed a light at the end of the tunnel.
As ICU doctors and nurses this month began receiving their shots from the first batch - 300,000 doses from the Chinese company Sinopharm - cautious optimism began to spread. Sagasti said he hoped to have a third of Peru s 32 million people vaccinated by the time he steps down on July 28.
