IFV General Directo Vicente Verez informed that Soberana 01 is 
concluding Phase 1 of clinical trials while Soberana 02 is entering Phase 2.

The Cuban vaccines have demonstrated confidence in "safety and immune 
response". Soberana 02 has shown an early immune response within 14 days.

Likewise, Sovereign 01 has also shown good results but at a slower rate 
due to the time required between one dose and another. It is expected to 
launch its Phase 2 of clinical trials in February next year.

Referring to Soberana 02, Verez explained that about a thousand 
volunteers will be vaccinated in January. After the required evaluations 
and permits, 150,000 people will take part in Phase 3 of clinical trials.

There is also progress in the negotiations to develop the third phase of 
Soberana 02's clinical trials in other countries, due to the low 
prevalence of COVID-19 cases in the country.

"No Third World country has a COVID-19 vaccine clinical in the process 
of clinical trials but Cuba, which does not have any delay in these 
investigations with respect to the rest of the world," 
Diaz-Canel pointed out.
