MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The WHO Representative to Russia, Melita Vujnovic, expressed hope that the global health agency will soon put Russia’s Sputnik V vaccine on its list of recommended vaccines against the novel COVID-19 coronavirus.
In August, Sputnik V became the first COVID-19 vaccine registered in Russia and the world. The vaccine is currently in phase 3 trials in Russia as well as in Belarus, the United Arab Emirates and Venezuela. India and Brazil are set to join the trials, according to reports. Sputnik V is claimed to be 92-percent effective based on data from the first 16,000 trial participants that received both shots of the two-dose vaccine.
