EU warns Hungary against Russian Covid-19 vaccine
By EUobserver
Hungary's plans to import and possibly use Russia's Sputnik V Covid-19 vaccine raises safety concerns and could damage trust in potential shots, the EU Commission said, according to Reuters. Hungary plans to conduct trials of, and possibly produce, the Russian vaccine. However, under EU rules, Sputnik V must be authorised by the European Medicines Agency before it can be marketed in the 27 EU members.
