Mexico finally develops own Covid-19 vaccine 'Motherland'

Mexican officials celebrated the announcement that the country finally developed its own COVID-19 vaccine.

Mexican officials on Wednesday (May 3) celebrated the announcement that the country finally developed its own COVID-19 vaccine, more than two years after inoculations from the U.S., Europe and China were rolled out.

It was unclear what use would be made of the vaccine, named “Patria” or “Motherland,” developed in a joint effort between the government and a Mexican company, Avimex, which previously did work on animal vaccines.
