Abdala, technical name CIGB-66, is a COVID-19 vaccine developed by the Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology in Cuba.[2] This candidate, named after a patriotic drama by Cuban independence hero José Martí, is a protein subunit vaccine containing COVID-derived proteins that trigger an immune response.[3] The full results of the clinical trial have not yet been published. This candidate followed a previous one called CIGB-669 (MAMBISA).[4]
The vaccine is one of two Cuba-developed COVID-19 vaccines which has passed Phase III trials,[5][6][7] and has received emergency authorisation.
