The head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade called the condition for the production of foreign vaccines in Russia

The production of foreign vaccines against coronavirus infection in Russia will be possible if there is social and economic expediency in this. This was stated by the head of the RF Ministry of Industry and Trade Denis Manturov, RIA Novosti reports.

According to him, the final decision on the production and use of foreign vaccines in the country lies with the Ministry of Health. However, if the industry faces such a task, it will definitely be possible to implement such a task, Manturov emphasized.

At the end of December, the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade announced that by the end of 2021, more than 300 million sets of full doses of COVID-19 vaccines were produced in Russia.

A foreign vaccine against coronavirus, the British AstraZeneca, is already being produced in Russia, but these products are intended exclusively for export.

Earlier, Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Tatyana Golikova said that so far there have been no applications from manufacturers of foreign vaccines for COVID-19 to register their drugs in the Russian Federation.
