APA – Pesident Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on Wednesday discussed the delivery of the Sputnik V vaccine in a phone call, APA reports citing Daily Sabah.
The two leaders also discussed the fight against COVID-19, in addition to the supplies of the Russian-made Sputnik V vaccine.
Turkey’s Health Ministry last week issued emergency approval for Russia’s Sputnik V vaccine, making it the third COVID-19 vaccine available for use in the country. Though Turkey has yet to receive any shipment of the vaccine, the Health Minister announced that they would acquire the jab soon.
