How Thoughtful: Putin Offers Free Coronavirus Vaccine to UN Workers

On Monday, Russian media reported that the WHO’s regional director for Europe, Hans Kluge, praised the vaccine after a meeting with Russian Health Minister Mikhail Murashko in Moscow.

The state Tass news agency quoted Kluge as saying that “the WHO appreciates Russia’s efforts in developing a vaccine against the coronavirus, Sputnik V” and calling it “safe and effective”.

Russian officials have defended the vaccine on the world stage, as pharmaceutical companies around the world race to market an effective coronavirus vaccine on a mass scale, and governments race to ensure access to a vaccine for their populations.
