Latvia might use Russian COVID-19 vaccine Sputnik V given EU approval - Health Minister

Riga, Jan 15 (Sputnik) Latvia is not ruling out the possibility of using Russian coronavirus vaccine Sputnik V if it is authorized by the European Union, Latvian Health Minister Daniels Pavluts said on Friday.
Asked at a briefing if Latvia could possibly use the Russian vaccine, Pavluts replied "at this point definitely not."
"This vaccine has not been tried in the laboratories of organizations which Latvia trusts and cooperates with — those of the European Union and its partners. As far as I know, not enough parameters of the vaccine's development and clinical trials were provided to authorize its use in the EU. If it gets registered in the EU, I see no problems. We will use those vaccines which get the EU's authorization," the minister said.
