Long lines in Venezuela amid rush for vaccinations

Endless lines of people waiting to be vaccinated against COVID-19 are part of daily life in Caracas after the launch of Venezuela's mass vaccination campaign. The government led by President Nicolás Maduro started its wider rollout on May 29 using the Russian Sputnik-V and Chinese Sinopharm vaccines. But confusion reigns among those waiting patiently from the early hours to get the precious immunization. Many have chosen to wait while the city sleeps to avoid larger crowds or spending too long in the sun. Into the morning, the line grew and grew until it reached almost 400 meters.
