“We see a really absolutely rush demand for the Russian vaccine all over the world, and this is due to the fact that it shows the best results both in terms of efficiency and in terms of safety,” Dmitriev quotes TASS.

He noted that the effectiveness of the Russian vaccine is confirmed not only by Russia, but also by data from Mexico, Argentina, Hungary and many other countries.

Earlier, RDIF and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) signed an agreement on the supply of 220 million doses of Sputnik V, which will become possible after the approval of the Russian drug by the World Health Organization.
