The head of a Russian state-owned investment fund, Kirill Dmitriev, said on Nov. 24 that Russia would sell the Sputnik V nasal vaccine to other countries next year, according to televised footage obtained by Reuters.

The Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), responsible for marketing Russia’s domestically produced vaccine overseas, made the announcement after President Vladimir Putin took the Sputnik booster shot last week.
