Loading ...Cuba Becomes First Country To Mass Vaccinate Children As Young As 2-Years Old
“Starting this week and within the past days Cuba has become the first country in the world to begin a mass COVID-19 vaccination program for all children. Though the campaign was initiated earlier in September, CNN reporting on Monday observed the large scale campaign in action for children two and up.
“During a single day at a policlínico in Havana, where CNN and other media were invited to film the vaccinations, more than 230 children ages 3 to 5 were vaccinated, the clinic’s administrator said,” the report observed.
What’s more is that to be considered “fully vaccinated”, Cubans – including children – must receive three shots, which is also something unique globally (Israel is the only other country to officially push a third “booster” shot for its citizens to be deemed fully vaccinated).”
