EU Drug Agency Confirms Talks With Producer of Russia’s Sputnik V Vaccine are Ongoing

A representative of the European Commission said the day before that the European Medicines Agency (EMA) is in talks with the manufacturer of Russia’s Sputnik V vaccine against the coronavirus.

The European Medicines Agency on Thursday confirmed to Sputnik that it’s holding talks with the producer of Russia’s Sputnik V vaccine. “We have indeed been contacted by the developer and are discussing with them further engagement with the Agency. If and when the EMA provides guidance to the developer, we will update the list on our website. Timelines for the authorisation of vaccines are difficult to predict”, an EMA spokesperson said.
