“The German government has always believed that a safe and effective vaccine should be welcomed, no matter in which laboratories ... it is created.

But the condition is pan-European certification in the EMA and EC approval for pan-European use, ”RIA Novosti quoted Seibert.

According to him, if the Russian vaccine "goes this way" and provides all the necessary documentation, then "it can be used in Germany and other EU countries."
