RDIF: Belarus-made Sputnik V vaccine might be exported to third countries

MINSK, 26 February (BelTA) – The Sputnik V coronavirus vaccine produced in Belarus might be exported to third countries, Kirill Dmitriev, CEO of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) told reporters, BelTA has learned. “We see that Belarus is able to produce a vaccine not only for its own needs.

After satisfying domestic demand, it will be possible to export the vaccine to third countries to help them fight against the pandemic, although, of course, vaccination of citizens of Russia and Belarus will remain a priority,” Kirill Dmitriev said. The first validation batches of the vaccine were bottled using Russian technology at the Belmedpreparaty facilities.
