  • Russian President Vladimir Putin announced Tuesday that Russia has approved a coronavirus vaccine for mass production.
  • The drug — named Sputnik V in reference to Russia’s Cold War satellite — will be made available for frontline health workers from late August or September, Russian media reported. 
  • But the drug has raised concerns because it has not undergone phase-3 trials, which are considered essential to guarantee the safety of a vaccine.
  • Many experts fear the Russia may be sacrificing safety to score geopolitical points.
  • Dr. Anthony Fauci, the top US infectious-diseases expert, is among those who have expressed concern in recent days.
