Mexico might allow private firms to buy, distribute vaccines Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador says he is not opposed to private companies buying coronavirus vaccines to distribute to patients who want to pay for the shotsMEXICO CITY -- Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said Monday he is not opposed to private companies buying coronavirus vaccines to distribute to patients who want to pay for the shots. But he noted there isn’t much existing supply and warned companies not to try to buy vaccines already promised to the Mexican government. “We are not opposed to commercializing the vaccine, to companies importing it and selling it to those who can pay,” López Obrador said. “The catch is the supply of vaccines in the world markets, because there still isn't enough production." López Obrador said no company has yet applied to import vaccines privately.
