Increasing number of Mexicans getting vaccinated against COVID-19 in the United States

More and more people from Mexico and other Latin American regions are traveling to the United States to receive the anti-COVID immunization

The United States has become a model nation in terms of anti-COVID vaccination, as its rate of application of the dose has been impressive, currently managing to administer more than 262 million doses against the coronavirus.

Such has been its success that even citizens around the world, especially from countries such as Mexico, Argentina and other parts of Latin America, have decided to travel to the U.S. to receive the SARS Cov-2 vaccine, some opting for various travel promotions that guarantee the application of the drug.

Latin America is one of the regions most affected by the pandemic, registering a death toll that rises more and more every moment and where vaccination campaigns fail to advance, and many people are not willing to continue waiting their turn in the long line of anti-COVID immunization.

As mentioned before, travel agencies have been able to take advantage of the situation by offering packages that include the appointment to be vaccinated against the coronavirus, as well as the price of the flight, lodging and extras such as sightseeing or shopping, being the passport the only document that an individual needs to present to receive the dose.

Rey Sánchez, director of the travel agency RSC Travel World, informed that the prices of flights from Mexico to the United States have had an increase of between 30% and 40% as a result of the demand in recent weeks, since "thousands of Mexicans and thousands of Latin Americans" have decided to request vaccination in the United States, mainly in the cities of Houston, Dallas, Miami and Las Vegas.

Even the New York government announced through Twitter that starting May 6, the administration of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine would begin in emblematic places of the city, inviting residents and tourists alike. On the other hand, the U.S. embassy in Peru also informed that travelers were fully authorized to travel to the country and receive medical treatment against the disease, which also includes the anti-COVID dose.

The slowness in the distribution and application of the vaccine in most Latin American countries is the most commented reason for traveling to receive the immunization against COVID-19, followed by the unreliability provided by news of fake doses seized by the local police, counterfeit injections or the lack of availability when it is time to apply the second dose.
