Second Russian Covid-19 vaccine to complete clinical trials next month

After Russian President Vladimir Putin successfully launched the first Covid-19 vaccine, which is also touted as the world’s first such vaccine against the novel coronavirus, the clinical trials of a second Covid-19 vaccine are due to be completed in September.

Meanwhile, mass testing of the country’s first potential Covid-19 vaccine to get domestic regulatory approval will involve more than 40,000 people and will be overseen by a foreign research body when it starts next week.
