He also assured that  Covid vaccines for children will not be purchased for now ,  until it is scientifically analyzed if they require it.

” We have to prioritize, we have to know if they are required or not required, not be subject, subordinated to the pharmaceutical companies being the ones that tell us that a third dose is missing, a fourth dose is missing, children need to be vaccinated “, added.

López Obrador assured that Mexico ” will not be held hostage by pharmaceutical companies, ” but that it will abide by what scientists say in this regard as well as international health organizations.

“We have to see if it is scientifically necessary. It is like when you go to buy something, we should not be consumers, you have to buy what you need, not go to the supermarket or the self-service store and buy to buy. No to waste, not superfluous, first what is necessary ”.

In this regard, the Undersecretary of Health, Hugo López Gatell, indicated that currently there is no scientific evidence that shows that children require the vaccine against Covid.-19

” There is no scientific evidence that vaccinating children is required, that booster doses are required, or that there is particular concern that the variants are more virulent, not even the Delta variant , ” he added.
