The vaccine usually gets an approval after trials on thousands of people, but Russia has already cleared it. The vaccine is named Sputnik V because the Soviet Union sent the world’s first satellite to space with the same name. President Vladimir Putin claims that the vaccine is completely safe and that one of his daughters has also been vaccinated.
