Austria interested in Russian vaccine
Copyright: Getty ImagesImage caption: The Sputnik V vaccine is now going to many countries Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz has discussed possible deliveries of the Russian Sputnik V vaccine to Austria, in a phone call with President Vladimir Putin.
Sputnik V has not been authorised by the EU’s European Medicines Agency, and Mr Kurz made it clear that such approval would be required first.
This month the respected medical journal The Lancet published results showing Sputnik V to be safe and over 90% effective against Covid-19.
Austrian specialists might in future co-produce Sputnik V with Russia, Mr Kurz said.
Russia is reported to be facing some production difficulties with Sputnik V, which is now in high demand worldwide. In the EU, only Hungary is using the Sputnik V jab. But tiny San Marino – not in the EU – has also taken delivery of it.
