With the COVID-19 pandemic once again spiraling out of control, Peru's government has been thrown into crisis over reports that the country's ex-president, sitting cabinet ministers and other top officials secretly secured for themselves early shots of the coronavirus vaccine, even as it was being denied to the country's population.
Peru's foreign minister, Esther Elizabeth Astete, resigned on Monday after it was revealed that she secretly received a dose of the Chinese-made Sinopharm vaccine last September. This followed last Friday's resignation of Health Minister Pilar Mazzetti, who quit after the Peruvian Congress demanded that she account for the secret vaccination of former president Martín Vizcarra and his wife last October.
