O Fundo das Nações Unidas para a Infância (Unicef) fechou acordo com o Fundo de Investimento Direto Russo (RDIF) para a compra de 220 milhões de doses da vacina russa Sputnik V.

Porém, o lote só poderá ser distribuído após o imunizante ser aprovado pela Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) para uso emergencial.

O RDIF informou também que está em andamento uma negociação para incluir a vacina russa no portfólio Covax Facility, que distribui imunizantes contra a covid-19 ao redor do mundo.
