By August 2024, Cuba had administered the largest number of vaccines against COVID-19 per 100 inhabitants in the Latin American region, followed by Chile and Peru. According to recent estimates, the Caribbean country applied around 410 doses per 100 population, accounting for one of the largest vaccination rates observed not only in the Latin American region, but worldwide. In comparison, Haiti registered the lowest vaccination rate within the region, with only 5.87 doses administered per 100 inhabitants.
Booster shots started
To reinforce the immune protection against the fast spread of the SARS-CoV-2, governments began to introduce booster shots in their immunization programs aiming at strengthening people’s immune response against new contagious COVID-19 variants. In Latin America, Cuba was leading on booster shots relative to its population among a selection of countries, with around 88 percent of the population receiving the extra dose. In comparison, these numbers are higher than those for the European Union and the United States.
Pharmaceutical research continues
As Omicron becomes more prominent worldwide, and recombinant variants emerge, research efforts to prevent and control the disease continue to progress. As of June 2022, there were around 2,700 clinical trials to treat COVID-19 and 1,752 COVID-19 vaccines trials in clinical development. Other studies were focused on mild, moderate and severe COVID-19, complication support, and post-COVID symptoms, among others.
