The Russian government said that they have developed its own cancer vaccine. The vaccine is expected to be launched in early 2025.
“Russia has developed its own mRNA vaccine against cancer, it will be distributed to patients free of charge, General Director of the Radiology Medical Research Center of the Russian Ministry of Health Andrey Kaprin has told Radio Rossiya,” Russian news agency TASS has reported.
“The vaccine’s pre-clinical trials had shown that it suppresses tumor development and potential metastases,” Director of the Gamaleya National Research Center for Epidemiology and Microbiology Alexander Gintsburg told TASS.
Earlier this year, Russia President Vladimir Putin said in televised comments that “we have come very close to the creation of so-called cancer vaccines and immunomodulatory drugs of a new generation”.
