The official permission given for the use of the Russian vaccine Sputnik V raises several questions and might even be unlawful, according to the Let’s Stop Corruption Foundation, a non-governmental organisation.
One of the questions is whether an entitled subject asked for approval to use the unlicensed medicine.
“The request was probably submitted by professor [Ivan] Schréter of the Košice University Hospital,” said Peter Kováč of Let’s Stop Corruption Foundation, as quoted by the SITA newswire. As he explained he is officially an employee of a medical facility, and his ability to act in the name of the hospital is questionable.
