Czech Republic not planning to use Russian Covid vaccine before approval

The Czech Republic is not considering using the Russian Covid-19 vaccine Sputnik V before it is approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA), but the country could stock up on it and thus gain an advantage if the vaccine is approved later, Prime Minister Andrej Babis told reporters on Wednesday before he left for Serbia. Accompanied by an expert team, the prime minister wants to gather information on vaccines and drugs against Covid-19 there.
