MOSCOW - Russia plans to register a coronavirus vaccine as soon as Aug 10 to Aug 12, clearing the way for what its backers say would be the world's first official approval of an inoculation against the epidemic.
No data has been published about the vaccine, which has been touted by its developers as safe and potentially the first to reach the public. "Americans were surprised when they heard Sputnik's beeping. It's the same with this vaccine. Russia will have got there first," Mr Kirill Dmitriev, the head of RDIF, said in an interview with CNN.
AstraZeneca Plc, Moderna Inc and Pfizer Inc have begun late-stage testing for Covid-19 vaccines, with initial results from some of the human trials expected as early as October. Phase 3 tests typically take months to run in order to better understand a drug's effectiveness.
