Putin, we support the idea of ​​free access to vaccines

(ANSA) -, 06 MAY - Russia is ready to support the idea of ​​eliminating patent protection from coronavirus vaccines. Vladimir Putin said this, quoted by Interfax.

    For his part, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres "applauds the unprecedented support of the US" for the call for intellectual property protections for anti-covid vaccines. This "offers manufacturers the opportunity to share knowledge and technology that will enable the expansion of locally produced vaccines and significantly increase supply to Covax," he said. "We must then ensure that countries have the necessary materials to produce vaccines", he added, reiterating that "no one will be safe from the virus until we are all safe". (HANDLE).
