Brazil says no to Russia's Sputnik V
The Brazil National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa)Â declined the request to approve the Russian-developed Sputnik V vaccine against COVID-19 for emergency use in Brazil. While, emergency use of COVID-19 vaccines from Chinaâs Sinovac Biotech Ltd and Britainâs AstraZeneca have been approved by the regulator.Â
Citing the agency, TASS reported that the request does not comply with the minimal criteria for this task.
"The request was returned to Uniao Quimica, because it does not comply with the minimal criteria in particular, due to lack of permission for third phase of clinical trials, as well as in regards to issue dealing with the advanced production methods," TASS quoted the Anivsa.
