EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) – El Paso County officials are working on a plan with the city of Juarez to vaccinate up to 25,000 Mexican minors against COVID-19.
The vaccinations would take place at the Tornillo Port of Entry at a date yet to be determined, County Judge Ricardo Samaniego said.
Mexico is lagging in immunizing those under age 18 against the coronavirus, so El Paso’s intervention is likely to make an immediate positive impact south of the border. Mexico as of Thursday had administered 128 million American, British, Chinese and Russian vaccines to its adults, but only immunized a few thousand minors, mostly in states bordering the U.S.
