MOSCOW, April 27. /TASS/. Russia is ready to send the data to Brazil which is necessary to approve supplies and authorize the use of Russia’s Sputnik V coronavirus vaccine, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Tuesday.
"Contacts will continue, if certain data is missing, it will be provided, there should not be any doubt here," he said when asked to comment on the decision of the Brazilian health surveillance agency which rejected the import and use of Sputnik V in the country.
At the same time, the spokesman underlined that there is already more than enough data about the effectiveness of the Russian vaccine. "The experience is already great. There is already big data formed which shows that this is the most effective and reliable vaccine in the world," he noted.
Peskov also stressed that the global demand for the Russian vaccine is very high, prompting everyone linked to its production to work round the clock. "And those who is involved in foreign contacts are also working round the clock to also establish this production abroad," the Kremlin representative said.
Earlier on Tuesday, Brazil’s health surveillance agency, Anvisa, rejected the application to supply and use Sputnik V in the country. The Anvisa meeting lasted more than four hours and featured conclusions of agency experts and their opinions about the Russian jab’s efficacy and safety.
