Cuba is the country with the world’s largest number of COVID-19 booster doses administered to its population to date, the Finlay Institute of Vaccines reported on its Twitter account.
Behind the island are nations such as China, Italy, Canada, Japan, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Brazil, the United States, India, Russia and South Africa, among others.
The source also regrets that more than 220 million people in Latin America still do not have a single dose of an immunogen against the disease caused by SARS-COV-2.
This year, Cuba began applying a second booster dose to people over 50, in addition to some risk groups, including health workers, the BioCubaFarma group of companies and sectors such as tourism and education; which the island ratifies among the nations that are at the forefront of this process at the international level.
With the expansion of the universe vaccinated with a second booster shot, more than four million elderly and more than 800,000 members of vulnerable groups will be preferred.
