"In Venezuela, the use of the Soberana 2 vaccine, a Cuban vaccine, has been approved to vaccinate children between the ages of two and 11," Rodriguez said live on state television.

It is important to note that this is the second vaccine produced in Cuba and preceded by a vaccine that was approved last July called Abdala.
Both vaccines have not yet been peer-reviewed and the results of their trials have not yet been published and yet, both have been approved for use not only in Cuba or Venezuela but also in Iran.

And despite all the approvals, the medical and scientific academies of Venezuela, as well as the children's associations, have expressed concern about the use of Cuban vaccines, saying their safety and efficacy has not been published in scientific journals and their quality has not been verified in independent clinical trials or approved by the World Health Organization.
Most of the vaccines distributed in the OPEC member countries (OPEC) were the Russian Sputnik 5 and the Chinese-made Sinopharm and Sinovac, which came through the global COVAX program aimed at providing vaccines to the poor countries. In Venezuela, which has about 28 million Citizens, reported 413,135 infections and 4,965 deaths due to the corona plague, but World Health Organization officials estimate the numbers are much higher.
By the way, Venezuela is not alone in the matter of vaccinating very young children, and apart from the countries that have already started vaccinating children aged 5-11, countries such as Argentina, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and China have approved vaccines for children from the age of three.
