Argentina is facing large delays in its inoculation program against Covid-19, with experts cautioning for a change in strategy as virus deaths top 100,000.
The country of 45 million people has already given out 26 million of Covid-19 vaccine shots, but only about one out of 10 Argentines are fully vaccinated. That makes it the country with the largest gap between vaccine doses in Latin America, followed by Brazil and Mexico.
