Mexico to begin administering booster shots Tuesday

Mex. (KYMA, KECY) - Mexican officials have reversed their previous position against giving coronavirus booster shots, and said they are studying a plan to administer third doses to people over 60.

Those residents who qualify will start receiving their third doses Tuesday. 

The country has fully vaccinated only about 50% of its 126 million people.

The government also long resisted vaccinating minors, but recently relented and began administering shots to youths between 15 and 17 years of age.
