The Venezuelan President pointed out that the COVAX system "has a debt with Venezuela, and added that we have already given all the technical indications, the vaccines that can enter the country have already been approved... we have already made the payment, and between July and August several million vaccines should arrive to complement the whole mass vaccination plan."

On the other hand, he reiterated that despite the shortage of vaccines globally, the inequality, and the persecution of imperialism against Venezuela, the country has managed to immunize its population in the prioritized sectors.
