“What many assumed impossible is now a reality: vaccination is about to start in December 2020,” Mexico’s foreign minister Marcelo Ebrard said in a tweet earlier on Wednesday.

The United Kingdom approved Pfizer’s vaccine on Wednesday, jumping ahead of the rest of the Western world in the race to begin vaccination.

In Mexico, Pfizer submitted the details about its vaccine to the country’s health regulator, Cofepris, last month and is still awaiting approval.

Mexico’s President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said in his regular morning news conference on Wednesday that Cofepris would work “day and night” to grant vaccine approval “as fast as possible.”
