“Full cycle production of Sputnik V will begin by the end of this year at the Belmedpreparaty enterprise located in Minsk’s Aranskaya Street,” Dmitry Pinevich said.

As regards Sputnik Light, its production in our country will depend on economic feasibility, the Healthcare Minister added. “Production of the Russian single-component vaccine is not a problem at the sites where Sputnik V is produced. Localisation of Sputnik Light will become necessary when we see that the vaccine will be widely circulated,” Mr. Pinevich said.
