Lukashenko: Belarus' COVID-19 vaccine should be the best
The development of Belarus' own vaccine against COVID-19 is a matter of honor for the Healthcare Ministry and the National Academy of Sciences. More than that, this vaccine should be the best, Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko said as he met with Healthcare Minister Dmitry Pinevich on 26 March, BelTA has learned.
“The domestic vaccine is a matter of honor for Gusakov and Pinevich, the Healthcare Ministry and the National Academy of Sciences. It is necessary to develop the very best vaccine within the shortest possible time. It should be the finest, because we can draw on existing expertise and knowledge. It has already been done by Russians, Europeans, Chinese and Indians. Many are already producing these vaccines. We already have some expertise, we are not doing it from scratch,” the head of state said.
