EU commissioner: 'Sputnik is a good vaccine'
By EUobserver
The EU's internal market commissioner Thierry Breton has voiced support for the Russian-made vaccine Sputnik V. "Sputnik is a good vaccine, because I think Russians are pretty good scientists, and I wouldn't have any reason to doubt [it]," he told reporters on Wednesday. The Russian vaccine is currently undergoing scrutiny at the EU regulator, the European Medicines Agency.
