Abu Dhabi is seeking volunteers to take part in Phase 3 clinical trials of Russia’s Covid-19 vaccine, known as Sputnik V, in the capital of the United Arab Emirates.
Two doses of the vaccine will be given to up to 500 initial volunteers, according to the emirate’s media office.
The UAE is also conducting Phase 3 clinical trials of a Covid-19 vaccine developed by Chinese state-owned pharmaceutical company Sinopharm, and has approved emergency use of the vaccine for certain groups.
