- Cuba has become the first country in the world to vaccinate children as young as two years old.
- However, the jabs given to the children are homegrown which has not been recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO).
- Cuba completed clinical trials on minors with its Abdala and Soberana vaccines.
- The Cuban vaccines, the first developed in Latin America, have not undergone international and scientific peer review.
- They are based on recombinant protein technology — the same used by the United States’ Novavax and France’s Sanofi.
- Novavax and Sanofi are also awaiting the WHO approval.
- Unlike many other shots in use, recombinant vaccines do not require extreme refrigeration.
