Landsteiner Scientific to Distribute Russia’s COVID-19 Vaccine in Mexico

Mexico will receive 32 million doses of Russia’s Sputnik V COVID-19 vaccine for distribution by Mexico City-based Landsteiner Scientific — enough to vaccination one quarter of Mexico’s population.

The Russian Direct Investment Fund, which supported the vaccine’s development at Moscow’s Gamaleya Research Institute, said it will supply the doses starting in November.

Sputnik V was approved last month ahead of phase 3 testing, making it the world’s first approved COVID-19 vaccine.
