According to him, all the necessary documents for registration of this vaccine in Russia have already been sent to the Russian Ministry of Health.

After receiving the documents on the registration of the drug in the Russian territory, the center intends to submit the relevant papers to the WHO.

“After that, we plan to submit a package of documents to WHO for undergoing the so-called prequalification of medicines in order to obtain an assessment of the quality, safety and efficacy of our drug.

Actually, this will open a broad road for our vaccine to the global world market, ”TASS quotes him.

Earlier, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, during a meeting of the Presidium of the Coordination Council under the Cabinet of Ministers to counter the spread of coronavirus, announced the timeline for the release of the COVID-19 vaccine from the Chumakov Center into civilian circulation.
