[Asia Economy Reporter Bae Kyunghwan] It has been reported that President Moon Jae-in has instructed to explore the possibility of introducing the Russian-made 'Sputnik V' vaccine.
According to the Blue House on the 21st, President Moon reportedly responded with "Do so" to his aides' suggestion that it is necessary to consider the introduction of the Russian vaccine due to concerns about vaccine supply.
Accordingly, the Blue House is expected to review the usage status and side effects of the Sputnik V vaccine.
