Mexico's president says he won't receive virus vaccine

ANKARA

Mexico's president on Monday said that he will not receive a coronavirus vaccine after taking a second medical opinion which reversed last week's decision.

"They reviewed my studies and came to the conclusion that I have enough antibodies and that it is not essential that I get vaccinated for now," Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said during his daily briefing.

The president announced on Jan. 24 that he had been infected and was experiencing mild symptoms of the disease with no further complications.

The vaccination of Mexicans aged 60 and older began last month across the country, and the country aims to administer at least one shot to most of the elders until the end of April.

On Wednesday, Lopez, 67, announced that he would be vaccinated next week and he was waiting his turn as recommended by the first group of medicals.

"I get vaccinated next week," he said. "I’m not going to tell you [where] because I don’t want to make a spectacle."
