In Peru, South America, it has become clear that nearly 500 politicians and civil servants, including the former president, had used their positions to obtain and inoculate the vaccine for the new coronavirus in advance, raising public criticism.
In Peru, South America, the number of people infected with the new coronavirus has exceeded 1.23 million and about 43,000 have died, and the infection is still widespread.
Under these circumstances, vaccination made in China began on the 9th of this month, but the government's investigation revealed that nearly 500 politicians and civil servants had obtained and vaccinated the vaccine in advance.
Former President Vizcara was vaccinated with his family during his tenure last October when a vaccine test was conducted on healthcare workers.
"I and my family just volunteered to take the courage to develop a new drug," Vizcara said of the vaccination.
The foreign minister, who had been negotiating with China over the vaccine, also resigned on the 14th of this month after it was revealed that he had been vaccinated last month.
In response to this situation, health ministers have resigned responsibly, and investigative authorities are investigating several politicians and civil servants on suspicion of illegally obtaining vaccines.
In Peru, there are growing criticisms about the lack of sufficient vaccines and the lack of vaccinations for many people.
