Russia's coronavirus vaccine has 'rather little detail' and an unfit jab could cause 'collateral damage', experts worry

Russia has become the first country in the world to approve a coronavirus vaccine after less than two months of human testing. President Vladimir Putin has announced the jab was officially registered with the Russian Health Ministry after it brought about “stable” immunity “quite effectively”. Putin added one of his two daughters received the vaccine and is doing well.Russia’s deputy prime minister Tatyana Golikova has said vaccination will begin among medical staff in August, before being rolled out to the public as part of a mass campaign in early 2021. Some experts, however, are wary about the lack of data demonstrating the jab’s efficacy. One warned the “collateral damage” of introducing a “less than safe and effective” vaccine could exacerbate the world’s “current problems insurmountably”.
