VOICED : Uruguay, primer país de Latinoamérica en iniciar vacunación de menores contra covid-19

Uruguay is the first Latin American country to start COVID-19 vaccinations for adolescents, aiming to resume in-person classes by mid-July. The vaccination process targets those aged 17 and below, with a significant number already registered. The pandemic has affected adolescents' social interactions and education. Despite high COVID-19 mortality rates, the government, led by President Luis Lacalle Pou, has opted against lockdowns, focusing instead on a robust vaccination campaign. Over half of Uruguay's population has received at least one vaccine dose.
