  </sources>
  <subtext>Communist Cuba has become the first Latin American country to come up with a successful coronavirus vaccine.</subtext>
  <text>Cuban health regulator CECMED approves the emergency use of the domestically-produced vaccine Abdala, becoming the fifth COVID-19 vaccine to be approved in the country. Manufacturers last month claimed that the vaccine, which requires three shots, has a 92% effectiveness rate against the virus. This makes Cuba the first Caribbean and Latin American country to successfully develop its own variation of the vaccine. </text>
