<p>On his Twitter
account, the foreign minister wrote that Cuba has currently a rate of
321.61 doses administered per 100 inhabitants, so it exceeds high-income
nations.</p>
<p>He added that 96.7
percent of the vaccine-eligible population in Cuba has been fully
vaccinated, and 80.9 percent has received a booster shot.</p>
<p>Cuba has developed its immunization strategy basically using
homegrown vaccines through technological platforms whose security and
effectiveness have been proven for over 30 years.</p>
<p>Cuba was the first
country to immunize its pediatric population against Covid-19, so
children and teenagers could return to schools with higher protection.</p>
<p>Clinical trials with
Cuban vaccines continue: one involving children under two years of age
and another one with a vaccine candidate that is administered nasally.</p>
<p>Cuban vaccines are
being used in a dozen countries, and the World Health Organization (WHO)
will receive the dossier of two of them soon to authorize their
emergency use.</p>
