Moscow [Russia], April 7 (ANI): Russian officials have delayed the authorisation of China s CanSino COVID-19 vaccine as they are confident that the people can be vaccinated through the homegrown doses.

CanSino s local partner, Petrovax Pharm LLC, had earlier said that it hoped Russia would issue the first international authorization in January. However, the Health Ministry recently requested more information, the company spokeswoman said.
