Several EU countries have already started distributing Sputnik V, although it has not yet been approved in the EU. The move has been heavily criticized by Christa Wirthumer-Hoche, chairman of the board of the European Medicines Agency (EMA).
“We demand a public apology from the EEA official, Christos Wirthumer-Hoche, for his negative comments about the direct support of EU countries for Sputnik V,” the official Twitter account for the vaccine said.
“His comments raise serious questions about possible political interference in the ongoing EVA evaluation,” the vaccine developers said, adding that the Russian vaccine is approved in 46 countries.
Last week, the Amsterdam-based EVA launched a “continuous review” of the Sputnik V vaccine, after which the organization will decide on the approval of the vaccine in the EU.
Meanwhile, Hungary has already approved the Sputnik V vaccine and started vaccinating it, and the Czech Republic and Slovakia ordered doses of the vaccine and said they are not waiting for EVA approval.
When asked about the possibility of Austria making such a decision, Capt. Wirthumer-Hoche told Austrian television ORF: “This is comparable to Russian roulette.”
Russia says it can provide the EU with 50 million. Sputnik V dose as soon as the vaccine is approved.
