Cuba

Children aged 12 and older will be the first to receive one of the two domestically produced vaccines, Abdala and Soberana, followed by younger kids.

Cuba's president says the protests were a provocation by mercenaries hired by the US to destabilise the country.

The makers of the Abdala vaccine say it is more than 92% effective at preventing Covid-19 disease after three doses.

The communist country has opted not to import foreign vaccines but rather to rely on its own.
