Mexico said on Wednesday that it is trying to get help from nonprofit groups or the US government to get coronavirus vaccines for Mexican migrants working in the United States.
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said that Mexico will continue to try “because it is a universal right”. Undocumented migrants often have trouble accessing health care in the U.S.

Mexico’s pandemic scorer said the Mexican government cannot send vaccines to the United States. And Hugo López-Gatell, assistant secretary of health, said that attempts to work through civic groups have not been successful, because only health officials have access to vaccines at this time.
“The Department of Foreign Affairs is studying the possibility of obtaining cooperation from the United States or some civic organization to obtain vaccines for Mexicans in the United States,” said López-Gatell. “So far this has not been possible.”

“It must be clear that vaccines purchased by the Mexican government cannot be transported to the United States … for various legal reasons and health regulations,” he said.
