VOICED : Vacunación anticovid obligatoria entra en vigencia en Ecuador

Ecuador has implemented mandatory COVID-19 vaccination for everyone over 5 years old, becoming the first in Latin America to do so. The decision is driven by rising cases and the spread of variants like Omicron. The government emphasizes the constitutional duty to ensure public health, with medical exemptions allowed. Despite no lockdown during September festivities, vaccination cards are required in crowded places, and public venue capacities are reduced. Ecuador reports a 90% vaccination rate among eligible people, with 70% fully vaccinated. The country has over 540,000 COVID-19 cases and is seventh in Latin America for COVID-19 deaths.
