Austria expects arrival of Sputnik V vaccine from Russia

Vienna, Mar 31 (Prensa Latina) Austrian Foreign Minister Sebastian Kurz on Wednesday highlighted the success of negotiations with Russia to acquire Sputnik V vaccines, and announced the possible arrival of the first doses next week.

After a meeting with Russian Ambassador Dmitri Liubinski, Kurz broke the news, which follows a previous conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

A few days ago, the head of the Austrian government asked the European Medicines Agency to authorize all safe vaccines against the coronavirus, including Sputnik V, as soon as possible.

The Gamaleya Epidemiology and Microbiology Research Center stressed in February that safety and efficacy are indicators that distinguish its vaccine, according to the results of a clinical trial published at that time.

According to the institution, attached to the Ministry of Health and the Direct Investment Fund of the Russian Federation, the study involved 19,866 volunteers who received the vaccine in two doses 21 days apart, with an efficaty of 91.6 percent.
