In world first, Cuba starts COVID-19 vaccine for toddlers
The Hindu
Several other countries in the world are vaccinating children from the age of 12, and some are conducting trials in younger kids.
Cuba on Monday became the first country in the world to vaccinate children from the age of two against Covid-19, using home-grown jabs not recognized by the World Health Organization. The communist island of 11.2 million people aims to inoculate all its children before reopening schools that have been closed for the most part since March 2020. The new school year started on Monday, but from home via television programs, as most Cuban homes do not have internet access.
