BRASILIA – The World Health Organization obtained enough data on the Russian COVID-19 vaccine to compare it, Jarbas Barbosa, deputy director of its regional branch, the Pan American Health Organization, said Tuesday.
When asked about possible vaccine production projects in Brazil, Barbosa said this would not be done until the end of the Phase 2 and 3 trials to ensure its protection and effectiveness.
“Any vaccine manufacturer will have to stick to this procedure that ensures it is and is advised by WHO,” he said at a virtual conference in Washington. (Anthony Boadle informs)
