Stepanov agreed in India: tests of the “nasal” antikovid vaccine will be carried out in Ukraine

Ukraine, represented by Minister of Health Maxim Stepanov, has agreed to conduct future clinical trials in the country of a “nasal” candidate vaccine from the Indian company Bharat Biotech. The head of the Ministry of Health announced this at a briefing after returning from a trip to India.
