In a television address, Maduro said that in October, more <x0-vaccines will reach”, but did not specify which ones.
Reuters news agency also reported that Russia would submit 32 million doses of its vaccine “Sputnik-V” in Mexico.
“Sputnik-V” is licensed for use in Russia after two months of human trials.
Experts say the evidence was too low to prove effectiveness and security.
On Tuesday, the Ministry of Health in Russia said the first group of Russian vaccines has been released for civilian distribution.
Russian authorities said they expect within a year to produce the necessary number of vaccines to cover Russia's entire population.
According to the World Health Organization, nearly 180 coronary vaccines are being tested worldwide.
The United Nations agency said that none of the vaccines, so far, has demonstrated a clear “synal” of efficiency, at the level of at least 50%, wanted by WHO.
