ezpz Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 So will AMLO step up and arrange this 3rd shot, or what do we do, those of us gringos who live here year around and got the Sinovac jab? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmh Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 I guess we will have to charter a bus or a plane to a place that will give us a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my $0.02, but rumor has it private shots will be allowed in Oct. I'd wait until then. Plus, more information will be available about mix and match shots by then. So far what I've read from the German studies, a combo is more effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmh Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 Whipstock, that is what they say in France as well my nephews got astrazeneca first and then pfyzer and the doctors there are saying it is more effective,,, I guess we should know in October if that is true because some of the European countries did the mixing of the shots.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostlylost Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 I would think that each country will need to approve individual vaccines before private sales will be allowed. Now they are being used under emergency use authorization. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason I specifically said it was my two cents and rumor, was because, while I have read that in a few places I consider it is a rumor until it is actually happening. I find the search feature on this chat board a bit awkward, but I did just find two references to October sales. I've been told that in person by others as well. I do not recall where they said they got that date from. This article from The Mexico Daily News does not give a date, but does state private sales will be allowed: https://mexiconewsdaily.com/news/coronavirus/private-sector-state-governments-will-be-able-to-purchase-covid-vaccine/ If you wish to spend time looking online and find something definitive, please share it with the board.

As Chapala Medical was selling private Flu shots in December, I felt they may be a good source of information. I asked if and when they expect to sell private Covid shots. This was the response I received: "Unfortunately, I have no idea of any time soon. The president will not allow the private industry to get it. Wishing you the best of health, Santiago R. Hernandez M.D. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostlylost Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 Doubtful there can be private sales by the drug companies until such time as any vaccine receives final authorization. They are under emergency use at this time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
