Havana, April 6 (RHC)—Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel highlighted on Tuesday that more than 90 thousand volunteers are receiving the second dose with Soberana 02 and Abdala anti-Covid-19 vaccine candidates, currently on their Phase III trials.

On Twitter, the Head of State stressed that this extraordinary effort deserves more responsible behavior by the people.
