Recently, Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel described as unstoppable the impact of Cuban Covid-19 vaccines, and highlighted that one of them, Abdala, had its dossier ready to be internationally endorsed.

“The impact of Cuba’s homegrown vaccines is undeniable and unstoppable, and is the best example of its people’s creative resistance,” the head of State said.

Developed by the Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (CIGB), formal exchanges with WHO on this vaccine began in March.

In mid-February, BioCubaFarma Director Eduardo Martinez explained that the company was working on the text, made up of several chapters with results on clinical and preclinical research, pharmaceutical development and everything associated with production facilities, an aspect to which adaptations were made.
