New Zealand Eases Restrictions; Cuba Rolls Out Vaccines for Children as Young as 2
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New Zealand has eased its strict lockdown outside of its largest city
Auckland after cases started to go down from August highs.

Meanwhile, Cuba has become the first country to start rolling out
vaccines for children 2 years and older. The two domestically produced
vaccines, Abdala and Soberana, have not been approved by the World
Health Organization, but local trials have shown an efficacy rate of
more than 90%.
