Although this afternoon the president Andrés Manuel López Obrador reported that he has Covid, the president has received three doses of the anti-Covid vaccine, that is, the complete scheme.
The president informed on his Twitter account that he will be in isolation and that he will work remotely, in addition to having no symptoms. He also said that the Secretary of the Interior, Adán Augusto, will be in charge of the press conferences and other events.
It was on December 7 last when the president received the reinforcement during his conference in Guadalajara, Jalisco, as part of the start of the third-dose campaign for adults over 60 years of age: “Courage Mr. President, it does not hurt much,” they shout to AMLO when receiving a reinforcement of the anti-Covid vaccine
What vaccines has AMLO received?
All the doses that AMLO has taken have been from the laboratory AstraZeneca.
The first dose was received on April 20. The second dose on June 15 of last year. The third dose was on December 7.

López Obrador, who has always resisted wearing face masks, applied the third dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine in early December, along with some members of his government team, to urge Mexicans to follow his example to protect themselves from the coronavirus.
The ruler’s decision to appear on Monday at his morning conference without a mask was criticized by doctor Andreu Comas, professor at the Faculty of Medicine of the Health Sciences Research Center of the Autonomous University of San Luis de Potosí, who considered it as “irresponsible.”
“He spent two hours in a closed space talking with reporters and workers. The risk of contagion is very great, “Comas told local radio station Radio Fórmula, adding that it is” irresponsible to have met with the workers and even the United States ambassador. “
The number of confirmed cases in Mexico rose 186% last week but both the president and other federal and Mexico City authorities insist that there is no need to be alarmed because hospitalizations and deaths have not increased at the same rate. In addition, they have been underlining for days the importance of everyone who has not been vaccinated to do so, since it is key so that the effects of the disease are less severe.
“Perhaps more than 70% of those hospitalized and of deaths are the unvaccinated,” said López Obrador.
88% of Mexican adults are already immunized and the authorities are now accelerating the application of the booster dose. However, the experts recalled that both hospital occupancy and deaths are two indicators that may not appear for weeks and only be detected after the peak of infections.
