Middle-Income Countries Rush To Get Russian COVID-19 Vaccine-Devex

Russia’s Sputnik V vaccine has been getting a lot of traction globally — over 30 countries and territories now have given emergency approval to use the vaccine. Interest in the vaccine seems to fall within a common narrative. Governments around the world are under pressure to secure COVID-19 vaccines and inoculate their population. But there are only limited doses available, and most of them, produced by Western companies, are already purchased in advance by a number of high-income countries. So low- and middle-income countries are turning to Russian and Chinese vaccines. Devex, 02/25/2021
