Germany questions the quality and safety of the coronavirus vaccine launched by Russia.
“There is no known data on the quality, efficacy, and safety of the Russian vaccine.” a health ministry spokeswoman told German newspaper network RND.
“Patient safety is of the highest priority,” he added.
However, Russia had yesterday announced they made COVID-19 vaccine, this release has raised alarms in the all over scientific community. As health experts are finding it difficult to trust the Russia claims.
“If Russia`s vaccine is successful, then we will have to see critically whether it is safe and effective. There should not be any side effects of the vaccine and it should provide good immunity and protection. India has the capacity for mass production of vaccine,” Dr Guleria told ANI.
Meanwhile the vaccine has been registered as ‘Sputnik V’ and even Putin’s daughters has already been given a shot of the COVID-19 vaccination, reports from state media said.
According to a report by Reuters, immunologists and infectious disease experts say the step by Russia to claim the first spot in the global race to develop a vaccine against COVID-19 could be a “reckless” step.
An expert at University College London`s Genetics Institute, who called it “a reckless and foolish decision”, report quoted Francois Balloux.
