Russian Sputnik V vaccine not to be used for U.S. Embassy personnel in Armenia: Civilnet.am
Ensuring the safety of our overseas staff is a top concern, including through vaccinations, the U.S. Embassy press service told Civilnet.am.
"The anticipated distribution of COVID-19 vaccine doses for U.S. personnel is being carefully managed and the vaccine used will be one that has received FDA emergency use authorization. This does not include the Russian vaccine," the press service said, adding that the United States is concerned that Russia is sharing or marketing vaccines with the international community without providing transparent, peer reviewed scientific evidence of their safety and efficacy.
