Russia (bbabo.net), - The World Health Organization (WHO) will have to register the Russian coronavirus vaccine Sputnik V, as its effectiveness against COVID-19 cannot be ignored. This was stated by the director of the Center. Gamaleya (vaccine developer) Alexander Gintsburg.

"We are confident that the registration of our vaccine with WHO is inevitable, because the effectiveness and safety of Sputnik V is a scientific fact, confirmed in more than 20 publications in the world's leading medical journals, Gunzburg said in an interview with the Serbian newspaper Politika. - Adenovirus Platform , on which our vaccine is based, has been studied for more than 30 years and is completely safe, it does not have serious side effects such as myocarditis, inflammation of the heart muscle, which are associated with some other vaccine platforms."

All documents necessary for registration of the Russian vaccine were submitted to WHO in October last year. At the same time, both sides acknowledged that the registration process is being delayed mainly due to bureaucratic delays, while WHO has no questions about the vaccine itself. Now it is approved in 71 countries of the world with a total population of 4 billion people.
