Zelenskyi wants to place vaccine production in Ukraine
Zelenskyi insists Ukraine should agree on a strategic partnership with vaccine manufacturers.
The president said this at a conference call, the Office of the President reports.
"We need to have the production of these vaccines located in Ukraine. We need to talk about a comprehensive approach and cooperation," he said.
Zelenskyi stressed the need to have the proper capacity to quickly launch the production of coronavirus vaccines in the country if the decision is made at the international level to open public access to the COVID-19 vaccine formula.
He also told Health Minister Stepanov that he wanted a comprehensive strategy for the vaccination program in Ukraine. We're talking not only about COVID-19 but also about other necessary vaccinations.
