Covid: Cuba made available to Paraguay Soberana 2 vaccine, according to ambassador
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – “Cuba has 4 vaccines; 2 very advanced in stage 3″, mentioned the diplomat. He emphasized that the island’s chancellery has manifested its predisposition to trade with the country “without any inconvenience”. “We will see what decision is taken, everything is on track”, he said in contact with Radio UNO.
He said that “the Cuban plan is very ambitious. We have already made several reports telling all the details, advances, characteristics of the vaccine. These are decisions made by governments, not by ambassadors”.

“Cuba has an advanced agreement with the Pasteur Institute of Iran, in Teheran, to carry out tests, 100,000 were sent to carry out phase 3 also there. It has an agreement with Venezuela, already advanced, and it is available for commercialization. The Cuban government told us, and the Cuban Chancellery, (is) predisposed to commercialize with our government without any inconvenience”, he pointed out.
Regarding the situation of the virus on the island, Cano Radil told the above-mentioned radio station that deaths are very low in relation to the proportion of covid cases, “It has to do with the preventive system at the local level, any strange sign is already being reported. It is a very different system.”
He added: “Every day people are asked to respect social discipline. There are strong sanctions for indiscipline, both financially and in terms of imprisonment”.
On the other hand, in contact with Paraguay TV, the diplomat reiterated that the Cubans are already being vaccinated in Phase 3. “We have been visiting the laboratories, we informed the Government that if negotiations are started at this moment, we could have a percentage available, it depends on the production”, he explained.
