Sputnik Available?

Ricky - 2-7-2021 at 11:13 PM

I’m posting the question regarding the Sputnik vaccine, will it be available to expats? We’re in Rosarito and found limited information regarding both availability and if we’ll be able to even receive it. Thanks in advance. I put it here rather than in “questions”

Why not schedule shots in the US?

Under 65. It’s that easy. Unknown when a 63 yo with a heart condition can get the shots.

If you have a curp number then go to this site and register.

I´m registered but I have no idea when the vaccine will get here.

They'll get it fixed-- there's a lot of smart young computer talent in Mexico.

If it's any consolation for your frustration, I believe Lopez-Gatell said the distribution won't be first-come, first-serve from the signup order. Can't remember what the ordering criteria are going to be.


From what I understand it´s anybody in "tercer edad" after medical and first responders. The doctors I know in Guadalajara and Colima have all been vaxxed already.
