Abdala, one of the Cuban COVID-19 vaccines, is available in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, the Biocubafarma Business Group of the Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical Industries of Cuba said on Twitter.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to a <\/span>Telesur<\/span><\/a> report, Saint Vincent is the first country in the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) to authorize the use of the drug, which joins BionTech-Pfizer, Oxford-AstraZeneca, Sputnik V and Sputnik Light, the other vaccines available in that nation.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Ministry of Health of Saint Vincent had advanced the news a little more than a week ago on its social networks, where they revealed that Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves received some 300 doses of Abdala as a gift from the Cuban government for use in 100 people of the Caribbean country.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI went to Cuba\u2026for the ALBA meeting on Tuesday 14 (December) and on Wednesday we brought, as a gift from Cuba, 300 doses of Abdala for 100 people. I think we are the first people to have received Abdala in the Caribbean,\u201d Gonsalves <\/span>told<\/span><\/a> the local media.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Grenadine prime minister participated two weeks ago in the Summit of the Bolivarian Alliance of the Peoples of America Trade Treaty of the Peoples (ALBA-TCP) held in Havana, and shortly afterwards said in his country that several teachers and workers of the first line had expressed their interest in immunization with the Cuban drug.<\/span><\/p>\n

In his speech at the Summit on December 14, Gonsalves precisely expressed his personal desire to get the Cuban vaccine and said: \u201cGod and the Cuban vaccine will save us from COVID-19.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

As of December 23, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines had administered 60,367 doses of COVID-19 vaccines. According to official data, more than 33,000 people had received at least one dose, and more than 25,000 already had two doses.<\/span><\/p>\n

After experiencing its pandemic peak last October, the Caribbean nation has managed to control the incidence of the disease in recent weeks. Either way, they remain alert, especially after reporting a few hours ago <\/span>its first contagion with the Omicron variant<\/span><\/a>, a case imported from the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
