Exports of Russian vaccines set a record

Last October, Russia put the record volume of “other vaccines for people” abroad: these indicators are comparable with the results for almost all summer. Since the beginning of 2021, exports of the main “vaccine code”, sharply grown after the start of shipments against the coronavirus “satellite V”, exceeded 1.2 billion dollars, reports RBC with reference to the data of the Federal Customs Service (FCS).

Exports of Russian vaccines in October set a record for the entire history of Russia since the early 1990s. In the tenth month of the year, deliveries increased to $ 356 million, which is more than twice the September volume. Earlier, vaccine exports for people in annual terms have ever become more than 71 million dollars – the result of 2020. Most of all vaccines in October acquired Mexico – 39 tons by 121 million dollars.

Development director in the analytical company RNC PHARMA Nikolai Bespalov stressed that earlier Russia had almost no global export products in the non-fermentation sphere. He recalled the supply of vaccines from the yellow fever developed by the center named after the M.P. Chumakov, however, they intended a limited number of recipients.

“Here we are dealing with world supplies, no one in the world was not ready for such volumes of production. They are comparable only with a vaccine for the prevention of influenza, but firstly, the latter has a pronounced seasonality, and secondly, For an anticoid vaccine, it was necessary to create a huge market segment from scratch, “said unrivor.

Earlier it was reported that the export of Russian vaccines exceeded 700 million dollars. The greatest parties of the drug acquired Argentina, Kazakhstan, India, UAE and Mexico.
