The creation of a Belarusian vaccine against coronavirus may require about 5 million Belarusian rubles (about 144.4 million Russian rubles), said President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko.
“I am very glad that our scientists set their sights on the production of their own vaccine. I am convinced that we will not get away from this infection. She will stay with us like the flu. So we need a vaccine. We need to develop our own, there are specialists. We must take it up and not be afraid. The money there, I looked, is small: somewhere around five million rubles. And we will recoup it, we just need to move quickly in this direction, “BelTA quotes Lukashenka.
According to him, the issue of creating its own vaccine against coronavirus will be discussed at a meeting in the near future.
On December 14, Lukashenko said that Belarus could start producing its own vaccine against coronavirus if the developments of scientists “turn out to be serious.”
