The European Union was “disgraced” because an Italian citizen was vaccinated against COVID-19 with a Russian drug. This is the conclusion reached by the British newspaper Express.
The publication drew attention to the fact that the opera singer Anna Maria Chiuri decided to be vaccinated while on tour in Russia, and then criticized the current situation with vaccination in the European Union. According to her, there is a “huge problem” in Europe with the supply of vaccines, and the supply of “Sputnik V” could make life easier for Europeans. “[In Moscow] shops, theaters – everything is open, and we cannot understand why Europe is so slow to do this,” she said.
According to the journalists of the publication, Brussels “failed” the vaccination program, delaying the supply of Western vaccines. All this has led to the fact that some states from the eurozone are beginning to look for ways to obtain the Russian vaccine, despite the disapproval of the EU leadership.
Earlier in February, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) said it had given the opportunity to apply. At the same time, the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) applied for registration of the vaccine in the European Union, but in the West it has not yet been received.
The Russian drug “Sputnik V” was developed by the Gamaleya Research Center for Electromechanical Medicine and became the world’s first registered vaccine based on the human adenovirus. Currently, the development of Russian scientists is among the ten best vaccine candidates in the list of the World Health Organization (WHO). In Russia, the vaccination campaign started on December 5, 2020. Later, the Russian Ministry of Health registered another drug – EpiVacCorona, developed by the Vector Center of Rospotrebnadzor.
