Sweden Working With ‘Several’ EU Nations in Sputnik Vaccine Talks

Sweden expects to get some doses of the Russian Sputnik V vaccine from June as the Nordic nation is coordinating the procurement with “several” other European Union nations.

Sweden could get a “limited” number of Sputnik vaccine doses, vaccine coordinator Richard Bergstrom told a news conference in Stockholm on Friday, citing talks with Gamaleya Research Institute and the Russian Direct Investment Fund. While discussions are under way on volumes and prices, Bergstrom doesn’t expect “large” amounts “as they don’t have that capacity,” he added.
