		</div><p>Mexico has approved the Oxford-AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine for emergency use, hoping to spur a halting vaccination effort that has only given about 44,000 jabs since the third week of December, about 82% of the doses the country has received.</p>
<p>The Pfizer vaccine had been the only one approved for use in Mexico, until Mexican regulators approved the AstraZeneca vaccine on Monday.</p>
<p>Foreign relations secretary Marcelo Ebrard wrote on Twitter that “the emergency approval for the AstraZeneca vaccine is very good news … with this, production will begin very soon in Mexico!”</p>
<p>A Mexican firm has arranged to do part of the finishing and packaging of the vaccine.</p>
<p>Assistant health secretariat Hugo Lopez-Gatell said he erroneously reported approval for Chinese vaccine maker CanSino, noting it had not yet submitted full study results for safety and efficacy.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>Mexico has pinned much of its hopes on the inexpensive, one-shot CanSino vaccine. “It will makes things a lot easier for us,” Mr Lopez-Gatell said.</p>
<p>The Mexican Social Security Institute also released more information about a doctor in northern Mexico who had such a severe allergic reaction to the Pfizer vaccine last week that she was hospitalised in intensive care.</p>
<p>The doctor suffered difficulty breathing, brain inflammation and convulsions a half-hour after getting the shot.</p>
<p>Experts are running tests to determine whether she suffered a rare inflammation of the spinal cord called transverse myelitis. She is reportedly recovering.</p>
<p>Mexico has nearly 1.45 million coronavirus cases and 127,757 deaths.</p>
