Kuwait: Despite the recent announcement by the Russian Federation that 20 countries have requested more than one billion doses of the new Russian COVID-19 vaccine, Kuwait’s Ministry of Health has stated that it is one of the countries, local media reported.
Although the Ministry of Health is tracking progress in the Russian clinical trial, it is awaiting approval from the World Health Organization (WHO) before applying for a vaccine. “The ministry has a specialized technical committee, including experts and experts on infections and internal diseases, to note the most widespread remedies and vaccines used in the world and monitors global advances and drugs that can be used to treat patients with COVID-19. “A source told Al Qabas.
President Valdmir Putin announced Tuesday that Russia would approve a COVID-19 vaccine after less than two months of human testing, Reuters reported. His comments were alarmed because it is a complete test, the vaccine is difficult to trust, global fitness experts said.
Francois Ballous, an expert at the Institutes of Genetics at University College London, told Reuters: “Mass vaccination with a poorly proven vaccine is unethical. Array… anyone with the Russian vaccination crusade would be disastrous because of its negative effects on physical fitness, but also because it would further delay the acceptance of vaccines in the population”.
Putin said one of his daughters had won the vaccine developed through the Gamaleya Institutes in Moscow.
“I know that it works quite effectively, forms strong immunity, and I repeat, it has passed all the needed checks,” Putin said on state television.
Discussions between WHO and the Russian fitness government have begun to talk about who’s eventual prequalification process, WHO spokesman Tarik Jasarevic said.
At a UN briefing in Geneva, Jasarevic said: “The prequalification of any vaccine includes a rigorous review and all required data on protection and effectiveness.”
In addition, Jarbas Barbosa, deputy director of WHO’s regional branch, the Pan American Health Organization, said who had not obtained enough data on the Russian vaccine to be able to compare it.
