In second turnaround, AMLO says he will take COVID jab

Reversing comments he made on Monday, Mexico’s president says he will be taking the coronavirus vaccine soon.

In yet another shift in position, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said on Tuesday that he will be taking the COVID-19 vaccine in 15-20 days. During his daily news conference, Lopez Obrador said he will be vaccinated in order “to set an example” in the country. “I asked the doctors again, and also to dispel doubts, especially so that those who have had COVID like me, that they not wait so long and set an example for people to protect themselves,” Lopez Obrador said.
