After dictator Nicolas Maduro announced that Abdel, one of Cuba’s candidates against the disease in Venezuela, would produce 2 million doses a month, the company warned of the lack of reliable information about a possible vaccine.

The Venezuelan dictatorship hopes to be able to vaccinate 70% of the population against Govt-19 this year, which includes vaccines from the Kovacs mechanism coordinated by Russia, China, Cuba and the World Health Organization (WHO).
