And also that a variant can be dedicated to different population groups, such as convalescents, and that different doses are evaluated based on age.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another of the potentialities of Cuban vaccines is that they require a freezing temperature of only two to eight degrees, and given the appearance of new variants of the coronavirus, they can include successive booster doses, he stressed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He also said that only 108 million doses of vaccines have been applied in the world, just over 1% of the population, and that it has been concentrated in thirteen countries, which is why there are not enough quantities available at the moment.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Cuba espera producir 100 millones de dosis de su vacuna contra el covid-19 en 2021 | AFP\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/H3_EG46imSY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The prices range from $10 to $35 a dose and must be lowered for the poorest countries to have access, he insisted. Cuba has been betting on a vaccine since the epidemic in China emerged, when the strategy began to take shape. As COVID-19 became a pandemic, this process was accelerated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, he explained that the four vaccine candidates use the same Receptor Binding Domain (RBD) antigen and that they were shown to have an immune response and the ability to inhibit virus entry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For his part, Doctor Vicente V\u00e9rez Bencomo, general director of the Finlay Vaccine Institute (IFV), announced that in April the first million vaccines of that Center should be produced, and that the studies in the Soberana 01 and Soberana 02 vaccine candidates are advancing in order to achieve a generation of antibodies that prevent the virus from entering the cell.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the case of Soberana 01, he said, three formulas were designed. In the trial with 60 people, divided into three groups, the vaccine was shown to be very safe: between 80 and 90% of those who received it had an induction of antibodies against the virus. Those who received a third dose increased to 95% their ability to generate antibodies with very high levels of neutralization, he added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Based on this, he said, it is possible to enter Phase II-III scheduled for March, which should involve between 40,000 and 50,000 people and will have a placebo group. On its part, in its Phase I Soberana 02 showed safety and efficacy in terms of generating antibodies: more than 70% of the patients presented a strong response to the first dose.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Phase II-A included a population of up to 80 years of age with a very similar response even up to the second dose. He said they received authorization for Phase II-B with 810 participants, in which there are placebos, around 700 received the first administration of the product.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He added that they are currently designing Phase III of Soberana 02, also for March and with placebo, and that it will be implemented in the province of Havana in around 42,000 people.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The president of the Biotechnologic and Pharmaceutical Industries Group (BioCubaFarma), Eduardo Mart\u00ednez D\u00edaz, affirmed this Thursday in the Mesa Redonda TV program that Cuba has sufficient capacities to produce different amounts of vaccines and begin the campaign that will immunize the entire population.
