Russia will make its Corona Virus vaccine Sputnik-V available for common people from this week. Sputnik-V is the first COVID-19 vaccine to be launched by any nation.
It was launched by Russian President Vladimir Putin on August 11.
According to a report published in ZeeNews.com, the Russian Academy of Science deputy director Denis Logunov reported that the Sputnik-V vaccine would be released for wider use after permission from the Ministry of Health.
The ministry is going to start the test of this vaccine in a few days and we will get its permission soon.
It is worth noting that this vaccine has been prepared by the Gamalaya Research Institute of Moscow in collaboration with the Russian Ministry of Defense to make adenoviruses a base.
Logunov said that there is a definite procedure to authorize a batch of vaccines for civilian use. It has to pass the quality check of the medical watchdog Roszdravnadzor. Between 10 and 13 September, we have to obtain permission to issue a batch of vaccines for civilian use.
