Covid Vaccine: Italy to make Russian Sputnik V Vaccine

The Italian-Russian Chamber of Commerce has reported that Russia’s Sputnik V vaccine will be produced in Italy this July.

Thereby, Italy will become the first European country to make the Russian vaccine which needs yet to be approved by the European medicines agency. The vaccine will be produced by Adienne Pharma and Biotech SA in Lombardy.

Russian authorities stated that they are ready to supply vaccines to over 50 million Europeans and several of the European countries- Hungary and Slovakia have already begun administering the vaccine without awaiting its approval.

According to a medical publication by The Lancet, the vaccine is found to be 91.6% efficient against symptomatic forms of the disease.
