translated from Spanish: Cuban vaccines could arrive in Argentina in August

The development of Cuban vaccines generates expectation in the Argentine government and Carla Vizzotti and Cecilia Nicolini are working so that as soon as possible they can be in the country, which could happen in August according to Ambassador Luis Ilarregui.” When in Cuba they have vaccinated 70% of their population, which will be in August, the Cuban vaccine will surely reach Argentina,” the diplomat said. Ilarregui described as “a very good result” the meeting between Vizzotti, Nicolini, and Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel Bermudez.

“In Cuba they are vaccinating in something called health intervention, which is like an extended phase 3 and they have already reached 1 million 140 thousand vaccinated, “said Illaregui in dialogue with Radio con Vos.The ambassador explained that in Cuba the Sovereign02 and Abdala vaccines are the ones that are “more advanced”, but the Soberana01 and Soberana plus are also in development, a drug that “would serve as a reinforcement for any vaccine”. >

While he highlighted the island’s progress in health and education, he referred to the complex economic situation aggravated by the pandemic, which reduced tourism revenues by 95 per cent. All added to the blockades imposed by Donald Trump, who eliminated the sending of money to the island through companies or branches that are in Cuban hands.” The blockade is a very old thing from a political point of view. I don’t like how you conduct yourself politically, so I don’t let you do any economic work,” Ilarregui said.
