Russian President Vladimir Putin called for the development of a mechanism for modernizing vaccines against coronavirus infection against the background of accelerated mutation of the virus.

Taking into account that this virus continues to mutate, we should develop mechanisms for systemic, prompt vaccine updates”, the Russian leader said during his speech at the G20 summit via videoconference.
According to Putin, at present, there is an acute question of “the World Health Organization (WHO) to accelerate the process of prequalification of new vaccines and drugs, that is, to assess their quality, safety, efficacy”.
“I am sure that the sooner all this is done, the easier it will be to resume global business, including the most affected tourism activity,” the president stressed.
