Russia Has Developed COVID-19 Vaccine says Putin

President Vladimir Putin has on Tuesday, announced Russia's development of the first vaccine offering “sustainable immunity” against the coronavirus.

President Putin disclosed this during a televised video conference call with government ministers.

“This morning, for the first time in the world, a vaccine against the new coronavirus was registered in Russia"

“One of my daughters had this vaccine. I think in this sense she took part in the experiment," Putin said.

Russia has been pushing hard to quickly develop a coronavirus vaccine and said earlier this month it hoped to launch mass production within weeks and turn out “several million ”doses per month by next year.

Recall that last week, the World Health Organization urged Russia to follow established guidelines and go “through all the stages” necessary to develop a safe vaccine.
