Geneva, March 17 (IANS) The World Health Organization (WHO) has delayed the assessment process for granting emergency use authorisation to Russia's Sputnik V
Health Undersecretary Myrna Cabotaje said there is a problem with the use of and preference for the COVID-19 vaccine developed by Gamaleya Research Institute.
After Moscow invaded Ukraine on February 24, the West imposed severe financial sanctions on Russia. The Russian Direct Investment Fund, which backs Sputnik V Covid-19 vaccine, has also been hit by sanctions.
The consensus has been that Pfizer and Moderna are most protective. But a study looking at 5 vaccines including Russia's Sputnik V and two Chinese types offers an unexpected finding.
