Health Minister Mikhail Murashko said, Wednesday, that the first batch of the Russian vaccine against COVID-19 is expected to be launched within two weeks.
On Tuesday, the Russian Ministry of Health recorded the world's first Corona virus vaccine. The vaccine, called Sputnik V, was jointly developed by the Aesthetic Research Institute and the Russian Ministry of Defense.
"Within two weeks, the first batch of the vaccine will be launched," Murashko said at a press conference.
