Wednesday’s statement by the council stated that sufficient evidence exists to support the vaccine’s safety and effectiveness.
Although the Abdala vaccine was approved for emergency use, it does not mean that the Mexican government will purchase or administer the Abdala vaccine. Mexico has approved 10 vaccines, but has not used many, such as Sinopharm from China.
Cuba has granted Abdala approval for domestic use and began commercial exports to Vietnam and Venezuela of the three-dose vaccine.
