Russia's second new corona vaccine approval Voices of concern for early approval October 15, 7:08
Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced that he has approved the Russian government's second vaccine for the new coronavirus.
It seems that it wants to show off the progress of development ahead of each country, but it has not completed sufficient clinical trials and domestic experts have raised concerns about early approval.
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced at a government online conference on the 14th that he has approved a vaccine for the new coronavirus developed by the State Research Center of Virology and Biotechnology.
The Russian government's approval of the vaccine is the second case following the August "Sputnik V," and Putin said "good news."
In addition, President Putin will emphasize the idea of promoting the provision of "Sputnik V" to foreign countries, and will show off the progress of development ahead of other countries.
However, clinical trials of "Sputnik V" are still ongoing, and the vaccine approved this time has only been completed in two stages of three stages of clinical trials.
For this reason, Professor Zverev of the First Medical University of Moscow said in an interview with NHK, "Why should we hurry so far?", And domestic experts have raised concerns about early approval.
