[Moscú = Yuji Koyanagi]On the 5th, the city of Moscow announced that the large-scale inoculation of the new coronavirus vaccine “Sputnik V” developed in Russia had begun. For people in occupations with a high risk of infection, such as medical personnel and teachers. However, the final stage of clinical trials has not been completed and there are deep-seated concerns about safety and efficacy.
The aim appears to be to promote the Russian vaccine in response to the start of vaccination developed by major US pharmaceutical company Pfizer and others in the UK earlier this week. Home inoculation is free. President Putin had ordered him to begin a large-scale inoculation next weekend on the 2nd.
In Russia, more than 100,000 medical professionals have been vaccinated in tests, but Putin has avoided vaccination. “Before large-scale vaccination begins, the head of state cannot participate in vaccination,” said President Peskov. However, there are those who question whether Putin, who is cautious, will accept inoculation even after large-scale inoculation.
In August, Russia approved Sputnik V for the first time in the world as a new corona vaccine. According to the government-affiliated “Russian Direct Investment Fund” involved in development, the efficiency is 95%. There are plans to export at a lower price than those made in Europe and the United States, and there are criticisms that the vaccine is being used politically for the national prestige and diplomatic strategy of the Putin administration.
