Mexico struggles to inoculate covid-struck population Mexico, which is globally the third worst country affected by the covid-19 pandemic, is struggling hard to gain vaccines and with relatively few inoculated, the virus is still wreaking havoc. By James Blears Thus far, Mexico has only received 1.9 million doses of the Pfizer and the Oxford-Astra Zenica vaccine. A veritable drop in a swirling ocean of infection, because it`s barely enough to inoculate one million people in a population of one hundred and twenty six million. We`re told that more than two million infections are officially reported and one hundred and seventy five thousand deaths. That is pale reflection of the true number, which could be as many as seventy thousand more. Only time will tell. Exhausted, hard pressed medical specialists say that 189,000 thousand elderly have been injected with phase one, but the population of over sixties here is 15.7 million people.
