MOSCOW (Reuters) – Russia’s sovereign wealth fund RDIF said on Thursday that it had agreed to manufacture Russia’s first registered COVID-19 vaccine “Sputnik-V” in Brazil.

RDIF, which is backing the vaccine’s development, also said it planned to supply up to 100 million doses of the vaccine to Latin America.
