Palestine approved the use of Russia’s single-dose Sputnik Light vaccine against the Coronavirus, the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) announced on Monday.

“RDIF announces the approval of the Russian single-dose Sputnik Light vaccine against Coronavirus by the Ministry of Health of the State of Palestine,” RDIF said in a press release.

The use of the two-dose Sputnik V vaccine against COVID-19 was approved by the Palestinian authorities under the emergency use authorization procedure, back in January.
