Russia will have supplied more than one million doses of its Covid-19 vaccine Sputnik V to its own national inoculation programme by the end of this year, a government minister has said.
Russia, which began rolling out the vaccine in early December, has so far produced over two million doses in total, Industry Minister Denis Manturov told state television.
According to Reuters, the Sputnik V vaccine is administered in two doses, which use different components, 21 days apart.
The current production rate will allow the vaccine to be rolled out across Russia's regions and be exported to other countries at the same time, Manturov said.
