The head of the National Medical Chamber of Ukraine, Sergey Kravchenko, said that the statement of the country’s chief doctor of public health, Oleg Lyashko, on the impossibility of registering the Russian vaccine “Sputnik V”, was “false”.
Kravchenko recalled that, in February last year, the World Health Organization had established “standards for designing a vaccine against Covid-19 and recommended that all countries move to emergency registration procedures for vaccines due to the spread of the global pandemic “.
The head of the National Medical Chamber of Ukraine pointed out that now, eight vaccines in the world have been registered under this scheme. “However, none of them have fully completed phase III clinical trials,” he added.
Lyashko previously stated that it was impossible to register the aforementioned Russian vaccine, due to the incomplete phase of the third clinical trial.
Before that, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denis Schmigal said that his country could not use the Russian vaccine against the Corona virus, because it did not pass the third phase of clinical trials, and indicated that now there is no talk of buying the Russian vaccine.
And Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmitry Koliba described the Russian vaccine, “Sputnik V,” as Russia’s “hybrid weapon” against Ukraine.
