A production unit for the Russian Sputnik V vaccine is expected to be launched in Uzbekistan in the near future, stated the Deputy Secretary of the Security Council of Russia Rashid Nurgaliev.
“In the Commonwealth states, the Sputnik V vaccine is now being widely used, which is registered in Abkhazia(?), Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and South Ossetia,” he told the Rossiyskaya Gazeta.
Nurgaliev noted that production of "Sputnik V" has been established in Belarus and Kazakhstan, and in Uzbekistan "it is planned to start producing the vaccine in the near future."
As reported earlier Uzbekistan plans to produce up to 10 million doses of the ZF-UZ-VAC-2001 vaccine a month at the first stage, and then increase this figure to 200 million doses per year.
