MEXICO CITY, April 25 (Reuters) - Mexico s top diplomat traveled to Moscow on Sunday for a visit with Russian officials, his office said, amid talks to hammer out plans for Mexico to bottle Russia s Sputnik V COVID-19 vaccine domestically after delays in shipments.
The government is aiming to quicken its pace of vaccinations, with just more than 4% of its population of 126 million people fully inoculated.
Mexico has registered 214,947 deaths, the fourth most worldwide, and 2,328,391 infections from the pandemic. The government has said the real number of cases is likely significantly higher.
Mexico s state-run vaccine manufacturer, Birmex, is working with Russia on a plan to bottle Sputnik V in Mexico, Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard said last week, just as Argentina produced test batches of the two-shot vaccine.
