Soberana 02 or Soberana 2, technical name FINLAY-FR-2, is a COVID-19 vaccine produced by the Finlay Institute, a Cuban epidemiological research institute. The vaccine is known as PastoCovac (Persian: پاستوکووک) in Iran, where it has been developed in collaboration with the Pasteur Institute of Iran.[2][3][4]
It is a conjugate vaccine that requires two doses, the second one being administered 28 days after the first shot.[5] A third (booster) dose of Soberana Plus may also be given on day 56. It has received emergency use authorization in Iran in June 2021, and in Cuba in August 2021, where it has also been approved for children above 2 years old.[6]
The name of the vaccine, Soberana, is a Spanish word that means "sovereign".[7] It followed a previous candidate vaccine called SOBERANA-01 (FINLAY-FR-1).[8]
