The Russian Sputnik V vaccine has been approved for use in at least 60 countries, including more than 10 in Latin and Central America. BRASILIA: Brazil's health regulator said on Thursday its decision to reject the Russian-made Sputnik V coronavirus vaccine was based on the developer's own data, after the latter threatened to sue for defamation.
"Anvisa was accused of lying, of acting unethically, of disseminating fake news about replicating adenovirus," said the agency's director, Antonio Barra Torres.The spat came three days after Anvisa announced it had denied a request from several states to import Sputnik V, saying its experts had flagged"uncertainties" about the jab.
"Anvisa made incorrect and misleading statements without having tested the actual Sputnik V vaccine." The Russian vaccine has been approved for use in at least 60 countries, including more than 10 in Latin America.
