Kyrgyzstan has registered Russia’s Sputnik V vaccine for use against COVID-19, Russia’s RDIF sovereign wealth fund said.
"Kyrgyzstan is the fourth nation in Central Asia to register Sputnik V. The vaccine will make an important contribution in promoting health safety for the people and preventing the spread of coronavirus," CEO of the Russian Direct Investment Fund Kirill Dmitriev said.
Kyrgyzstan has become the 32nd country in the world to register Sputnik V, which is now one of the world's top three coronavirus vaccines in terms of the number of approvals issued by government regulators.
