Direct Coronavirus Spain today, breaking news
The German state of Bavaria has signed "a
preliminary contract
" to soon receive 2.5 million doses of the Russian
Sputnik V
vaccine
against the coronavirus, its regional president,
Markus Soder
, announced on Wednesday
.
The "preliminary contract was signed today (Wednesday)", as reported by the state official, who belongs to the political family of Chancellor
Angela Merkel
.
The leader explained that "the state will receive these doses of the vaccine" in the coming months only if the European regulator gives its approval to this vaccine, which it is currently analyzing.
This approval "would be an opportunity to use the vaccine in inoculation campaigns in Europe, and therefore Germany could consider using it" reacted a spokesman for Chancellor Merkel,
Steffen Seibert
.
Merkel herself had already declared that her government would be willing to "use
any vaccine that has been approved
" by the European Medicines Agency (EMA).
The EMA is evaluating the real-time use of Sputnik V, a key step so that this vaccine not created in a western country can be used in the block of 27 countries.
Both that Russian drug and the Chinese have caused misgivings in European governments, who consider that they are used for
propaganda purposes
.
The Bavarian contract comes after the controversy that has broken out in Spain after it became known that the Community of Madrid surveyed the international market in search of vaccines and that it met up to three times with representatives of Sputnik V to explore a possible purchase of vials due to the deficit.
