COVID-19 Vaccinations in Mexico

In Mexico, 16,687,189 vaccines against coronavirus have been applied, out of a total of more than 22.1 million received from six different laboratories. Yesterday 292,988 doses were applied.

However, there are only 6,096,954 people who have received their full vaccination schedule (two doses).

COVID-19 in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

As of today, Puerto Vallarta has reported a total of 3,682 cases of the coronavirus since the beginning of the pandemic, and 403 deaths. This means the city registered 10 more cases of COVID-19 and no new deaths in the past 24-hours. Currently, the city reports 63 active cases (3 more than yesterday), this being people who have been infected in the last 14-days. Cases in Puerto Vallarta are likely 5-times higher than what is reported. A lack of testing and the federal statistics not taking into consideration private hospitals and laboratories contribute to the underreporting of cases in Mexico.

The Ministry of Health reported 3,592 new confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Mexico, bringing the total to 2,333,126 registered infections . . .
