The Medical Council of Guyana on Saturday said the decision to use the Sputnik V vaccine to inoculate the populace against COVID-19 is supported by reassuring scientific data.
“Guyana and its neighbors have the requisite technical expertise to analyze scientific data and make appropriate recommendations to our policy makers. This was the basis for using the various Vaccines in Guyana – Independent technical analysis of Risk versus Benefits,” the Council said in a statement, which was issued in response to new concerns raised over the vaccine, which has yet to receive World Health Organization (WHO) approval.
