WHO calls next steps towards recognition of “Sputnik V”

This week the World Health Organization (WHO ) will meet with the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) to discuss a timetable for the next steps to evaluate the Russian Sputnik V coronavirus vaccine as part of the Emergency Use Listing (EUL) procedure. This was reported to TASS at the WHO headquarters in Geneva.

The organization recalled that in October RDIF “signed all the necessary legal agreements necessary for the assessment under the EUL.” This step is a “prerequisite for all applicants.” In addition, on the way to the recognition of the drug, the Russian side must provide updated information on “corrective and preventive measures (CAPAs)” related to inspections at enterprises. As soon as the application and all materials are received and considered, “the applicant will be given a decision on the need for an on-site verification inspection,” added the WHO.
