That is, they are skipping the line and cheating they manage to vaccinate in the neighboring country.
Some Mexicans who have managed to get vaccinated in this country, explained to MILLENNIUM how they got the doses:
“My parents were able to get vaccinated in Florida when it was not yet necessary to present proof of residence. My brother and I managed to get vaccinated in San Antonio. They don’t ask for anything. You have to go to the registration places, fill out the form in which they ask you the name, the date of birth and if you have any disease.Here you put that you do, since we are not over 65 and to vaccinate you have to put this.When you arrive with your appointment you are vaccinated and they don’t ask you anything else, “said a young Mexican to whom the two doses of the Pfizer vaccine.
Mexicans consulted by MILLENNIUM they assured that they will be vaccinated in the coming days. Many already have appointments and flight and hotel reservations. For them it is not an impediment to have to spend on PCR or antigen tests to let them travel and spend between 20 thousand and 30 thousand pesos on each of the two trips to receive two doses. Others prefer to wait until May, when according to President Joe Biden any adult American will be able to be vaccinated, so they believe that vaccinating in a country that is not theirs will no longer be cheating.
From the beginning of 2021, Mexicans realized that they could go vaccinated United States. At first, they only intended to be vaccinated if they were over 65 or if they had a relative of that age, so as not to violate the current vaccination criteria in that country.
However, as good Mexicans they realized that even if they did not meet the requirements they could access the vaccine.
There were those who organized round trips for the first and second dose. Others more affluent, washed properties or moved for a month to their apartments or houses in that country while receiving both doses. Others decided to visit relatives in that country to be vaccinated.
The state of Florida realized the vaccination tourism that was attracting Mexicans who were not residents, or had risk-taking, or were not over the age of 65, so the main vaccination destination, which began as Miami, changed to Texas cities.

Mexicans under the age of 65 have filled out their application assuring that they have a disease, even if they do not have it. That is, they have skipped the vaccination queue and accessed the vaccine without being American.
Some have figured out how to access canceled appointments. However, to register they must lie saying that they suffer from some disease.
Those who preferred not to lie about their physical condition, took their profession as a pretext. Like those who claimed to be part of social services for having studied psychology.
Some explained that because they do not want to cheat, they have found places where they do not have conditions to access appointments. However, the rules are the same throughout the state of Texas, so just because you don’t tell lies doesn’t mean you’re not skipping the queue at the vaccine.
In Facebook groups there are those who even ask for “managers” who, at cost, help them register to go vaccinated, which is illegal in this country.
The vaccination boom among Mexicans could be seen reflected in the increase in passenger heads United States of February, especially in Texas, which will be announced in late March, but is already reflected in the costs of some flights that have risen in price in the face of demand from passengers traveling with the intention of being vaccinated in the country neighbor.
