and BioNTech for children aged between six months and four years, the government body said in a statement Friday night.

On Friday, the South American country reported 97 deaths nationwide due to the coronavirus, far lower than the daily peak of 4,250 recorded in April 2021.Reporting by Gram Slattery and Pedro Fonseca; Editing by Leslie Adler
