"Kommersant": the American MSD will stop the supply of vaccines against chickenpox and measles to Russia

According to the publication, citing market participants, MSD notified counterparties that it was halting the supply of medicines for chicken pox (Varivax), as well as measles, rubella and mumps (M-M-R II) to Russia.

In turn, MSD said that they are "making every effort" to ensure the supply of vital drugs and vaccines, which have no analogues in Russia. 

Antonina Oblasova, co-founder of ANO Collective Immunity, explained that according to Russian law, the American company will be able to stop deliveries only a year after it notifies the Ministry of Health of the relevant plans.

Earlier, First Deputy Minister of Health Viktor Fisenko said that Russia is capable of producing about 80% of the entire range from the list of vital drugs.
