Covid vaccine nurses seized

ANTI-VACCINE residents of a village in Guatemala seized and held a team of nurses who were trying to administer coronavirus vaccines, authorities said.

The team was held for about seven hours in the village of Nahuila, in the province of Alta Verapaz, on Monday.

The villagers said they did not want the vaccines, and later blocked a road and let the air out of the nurses’ tyres.

Police and local officials later negotiated their release.
