The first batch of the Russian coronavirus vaccine entered civilian circulation. This was announced on Tuesday, September 8, by the press service of the Russian Ministry of Health.

“The first batch of the vaccine for the prevention of the new coronavirus infection Sputnik V, developed by the Gamaleya Research Center for Epidemiology and Microbiology of the Ministry of Health of Russia, has passed the necessary quality tests in the laboratories of Roszdravnadzor and it has been put into civil circulation, “the statement said.
