India and China may start producing Russia’s Sputnik V vaccine against COVID-19, the RIA news agency cited President Vladimir Putin as saying.
Putin also proposed that the creation of a vaccine research centre for BRICS countries – Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa – be sped up, TASS reported.
Recently, RDIF and Gamaleya Institute had issued a statement claiming that as per interim trial results, the Sputnik-V vaccine is 92 per cent effective at preventing COVID-19.
