The race to get a COVID-19 vaccine is at full swing.
A total of 31 vaccines are currently undergoing human trials, such as eight that have proceeded to stage three, with large scale efficiency evaluations.
The global, high-stakes contest took a twist when Russia declared the very first coronavirus vaccine cleared for usage on Tuesday.
“She is feeling well and contains a lot of antibodies,” Putin maintained about his daughter, that trialed the so-called”Sputnik V” vaccine.
“We’re in touch with the Russian health authorities, and talks are happening about potential pre-qualification of this vaccine,” said World Health Organisation spokesperson Tarik Jasarevic through a media conference in Geneva on Wednesday.

The global top position has come at the price using the US spending $10 billion ($0.84bn/#0.75bn) to get as much as 1.3 billion gallons.
