Charles University not to examine Sputnik as demanded by Zeman

The scientists from Charles University (UK) will not examine the Russian vaccine Sputnik V, as demanded by President Milos Zeman, UK spokesman Vaclav Hajek told CTK today. UK rector Tomas Zima is of the view that it would be useless for the UK experts to deal with the examination of the vaccine, Hajek said. The decision on the use of the vaccine must be given by the relevant bodies, which is the Health Ministry, the State Drug Control Institute (SUKL) and the European Medical Agency (EMA), he added.
