Vadim Krasnoselsky in the course of the meeting of the Operational Headquarters under the President for prevention of the spread of coronavirus raised the topic of organizing vaccination of Pridnestrovians with the Russian "Sputnik V". An agreement was reached During Vadim Krasnoselsky's visit to Moscow on the allocation of 200 thousand doses of vaccine to the republic for 100 thousand citizens. The delivery will be carried out in two stages – 100 thousand doses each. This division is due, among other things, to the limited shelf life of the vaccine. The first batch is in the Russian warehouse. The dispatch is delayed due to the lack of Moldovan documentation allowing the import. The Pridnestrovian Ministry of Health on the 27th of October sent to the Chisinau Medicines Agency a corresponding statement and a full package of accompanying documents confirming that the expected batch of vaccine is intended for immunization of the population on a gratuitous basis without a commercial component. The established two-week period for consideration of such applications has expired. This issue was raised on the 9th of November in the course of the meeting of a specialized expert group within the framework of the negotiation process. There is no progress.
Vadim Krasnoselsky instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic to actively participate in solving this problem, to inform Russian colleagues and participants of the "5 + 2" format about the current situation. If the Moldovan side deliberately delays the registration of permits, there is a risk of expiration of the shelf life of the vaccine allocated for Pridnestrovie as humanitarian aid to combat the spread of the coronavirus.
