The Health Ministry must think out of box to tackle this problem as well as the types of vaccines to be used here. Chile was recently reported as having one of the world’s best vaccination rates, but Covid-19 is surging there anyway. Chile recorded more than 9,000 cases on April 9, the first time since the pandemic began, despite achieving a national vaccination rate of 38%. However, other factors could have also contributed to the currently high infection rate in Chile, including the more virulent strains of Covid-19. Vaccination of migrant workers is also vital to achieve herd immunity.
