HANOI: Cuba has agreed to provide Vietnam with 10 million doses of its home-grown coronavirus vaccine, Abdala, for which the Asian nation has given emergency approval.

A deal was signed between the two countries during an official visit by President Nguyen Xuan Phuc to the communist island, the government said.

The agreement concerns an initial 5 million doses but Vietnam has already authorized the purchase of 10 million doses in total, Cuban media reported.

On Saturday, Vietnam became the first foreign country to approve the emergency use of Abdala, which Cuba is already using along with Soberana 02, another locally developed vaccine.

Venezuela has signed a contract to acquire 12 million Abdala doses while Iran is producing Soberana 02 under agreement.

Argentina and Mexico have also expressed interest in the Cuban vaccines.

Last week, Cuba started the process of seeking World Health Organization approval for Abdala and Soberana 02. The vaccines, the first developed in Latin America, have yet to undergo international scientific peer review.

They are based on recombinant protein technology - the same used by the United States' Novavax and France's Sanofi inoculations.

Under American sanctions since 1962, communist Cuba has a long tradition of making its own vaccines, dating back to the 1980s. Nearly 80 percent of its inoculations are produced locally.

OK?

Enough doses to inoculate about 5% of the population at 2 jabs a piece, less than that if Vietnam goes with three jabs like most Havana residents got. The president of Vietnam really needed to fly to Cuba to announce this news? How many millions of dollars did that cost? All the charms and wonders of "Communism" on display again.

I wonder why they wont take the "Free" (for them, not for me) Vaccines that are available today. We've pretty much reached peak vaccination here in the states, just about everyone who is willing/able to get it has at this point. We just announced another "donation" of HALF A BILLION approved, functional doses to lower income countries.

The socialist republic of Vietnam isn't the worst model to pursue if you plan  to remain a one party state.
