Russia Unlikely to Meet Promised 630M Target for COVID Vaccine Doses, Now Partnering with China On 5/3/21 at 1:09 PM EDT A London-based science analytics company, Airfinity, told the Associated Press that it estimates Russia agreed to give 630 million doses of its homegrown vaccine to more than 100 countries but has exported only 11.5 million doses so far.
