Ukrainian Parliament passes bill banning approval of Russian coronavirus vaccine

Reuters reported on January 29 that the Ukrainian Parliament passed a bill on Friday aimed at accelerating the approval of a coronavirus vaccine, which also prohibits the approval of Russian-made vaccines.

The Ukrainian government has previously said that it expects to receive 100,000 to 200,000 doses of Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine through the WHO Coronavirus Vaccine Implementation Plan (COVAX) in February this year.
