HAVANA, Cuba, Feb 11 (ACN) Evo Morales, leader of the ruling Movement Towards Socialism (MAS) and former president of Bolivia, congratulated today on Twitter Cuba’s progress with the production of anti-COVID-19 vaccine candidates, currently under development.
Morales pointed out that, despite the cruel U.S. blockade on Cuba, the island produced on an industrial scale a first batch of 150,000 Soberana 02 vaccines against COVID-19 and will soon enter a new phase (the third one) of clinical trials, which proves the country’s great vocation for saving lives.
The Cuban biopharmaceutical industry confirmed this week a first batch of 150,000 bulbs of Soberana 02, the most advanced national vaccine candidate against the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus.
In a recent meeting between the government and Cuban scientists, the director of the Finlay Vaccine Institute, Vicente Vérez Bencomo, pointed out that the large-scale production will provide enough doses to carry out the third phase of this study and described as an important scientific-technological milestone the production of a second batch of the vaccine candidate.
In addition to Soberana 02, Cuba has three other vaccine candidates, Soberana 01, Mambisa and Abdala, to fight the COVID-19 pandemic.
