WHO suspends the approval process of the Russian vaccine Sputnik V

The World Health Organization (WHO) has suspended the approval process of the Sputnik V coronavirus vaccine.

As the organization explains, the process will be suspended until at least one Russian factory is re-inspected.

During a press briefing at the World Health Organization regional branch, the assistant director said that Russia's request for emergency authorization had been suspended after several manufacturing irregularities were detected in Russia during a WHO inspection.
