Russia on Tuesday became the first country to clear a coronavirus vaccine and declare it ready for use, despite international skepticism. President Vladimir Putin said that one of his daughters has already been inoculated.
Putin emphasized that the vaccine underwent the necessary tests and has proven efficient, offering a lasting immunity from the coronavirus. However, scientists at home and abroad have been sounding the alarm that the rush to start using the vaccine before Phase 3 trials which normally last for months and involve thousands of people could backfire.
Speaking at a government meeting Tuesday, Putin said that the vaccine has undergone proper testing and is safe.
I know it has proven efficient and forms a stable immunity, and I would like to repeat that it has passed all the necessary tests, he said. We must be grateful to those who made that first step very important for our country and the entire world.
The Russian leader added that one of his two adult daughters has received two shots of the vaccine. She has taken part in the experiment, Putin said.
