Argentina to tackle COVID-19 with Russian vaccines

Argentina is expecting 10 million doses of Russia’s main experimental COVID-19 vaccine between December and January.

The government gave the indication just as infections continue to climb in the South American country.

The vaccine, known as Sputnik V, is given in two doses and could begin arriving as early as next month.

President Alberto Fernandez said the price of the Russian vaccine would be “more or less average” compared with other.

Fernandez said talks with world powers had been going on for quite some time.

Information has it that officials including Argentina’s deputy health minister had travelled to Russia to review the vaccine’s development.
