The European Medicines Agency on Thursday confirmed to Sputnik that it's holding talks with the producer of Russia's Sputnik V vaccine. The agency's representative said that in view of the pandemic, the EMA and other regulatory agencies in Europe are diverting resources to reduce timelines for the evaluation and authorisation of COVID-19 vaccines.
According to the results of the second interim analysis of the clinical trials data, the vaccine has proven to be 91.4 percent effective 28 days after the injection of the first dose and 95 percent effective 42 days after the injection of the first dose.
