South Korea's Huons Global said on Friday (Apr 16) that it will lead a consortium to produce 100 million doses of Russia's Sputnik V Covid-19 vaccine per month as Moscow ramps up production for supplies abroad.
The announcement comes after South Korean biotech firm GL Rapha signed a deal with Russia's sovereign wealth fund late last year to make more than 150 million doses of Sputnik V per year.
Huons said the consortium will begin producing sample batches in August and respond flexibly to supply demands from the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF).
