Cuba became the first country in the world to vaccinate children from the age of two against Covid-19 on Sept 6 (2021), using homegrown jabs not recognised by the World Health Organization (WHO).

The communist island of 11.2 million people aims to inoculate all its children before reopening schools that have been closed for the most part since March 2020.
