They are already running a J&J trial, are about to start an Astra-Zeneca trial and the Chinese Sinovac trial. All of those come with guaranteed supplies if successful.
Thus Chile announced that it had reserved 10 million doses of the Pfizer Vaccine, 14.4 million doses of the Astra-Zeneca Vaccine and 20 million doses of the Sinovac vaccine.
In addition Chile is a part of COVAX and has signed up for 35 million doses - almost enough for the whole country. (Pop 19.4m).
There's obviously some overlap in those figures, but the number was large enough for me not to bother looking into it further until the comparative value/safety of each vaccine is known.
Chile has a great vaccination infrastructure and approach so I am unstressed.
