The 75 Cuban doctors who work in the field hospital installed in the Caracas Polyhedron, Venezuela, were inoculated with the Russian Sputnik V <\/span>COVID-19 vaccine<\/span><\/a>, the official media reported.<\/span><\/p>\n

The deputy chief of the Cuban medical mission in the Venezuelan capital, Rodolfo P\u00e9rez, specified that more than 630 <\/span>Cuban health <\/span><\/a>professionals will be immunized with the drug in the region, where two vaccination points have been installed.<\/span><\/p>\n

For now, the Cubans who were vaccinated with the Sputnik V dose remain under observation for the first 24 hours, and so far only two people have manifested adverse reactions, although not significant, said P\u00e9rez, quoted by the <\/span>Agencia Cubana de Noticias<\/span><\/a> news agency.<\/span><\/p>\n

P\u00e9rez explained that those vaccinated must wait 21 days to receive the second dose of the vaccine developed by the National Center for Epidemiology and Microbiology Research of Russia, Gamaleya.<\/span><\/p>\n

On February 13, Venezuela received the first batch of 100,000 Sputnik V, and is today in the initial stage of the vaccination process against the disease; mass immunization is scheduled for next April. As part of the current process, other collaborators on the island will also be immunized, according to a note read on Cuban television this Tuesday.<\/span><\/p>\n
