Brazil’s national health regulator rejected importing Russia’s Sputnik V COVID-19 vaccine over concerns about replicating adenovirus, which it called a “serious breach.”
Gustavo Mendes, Medicines and Biological Products Manager at the Brazilian Health Authority, said data gathered from other regulatory agencies indicated the presence of adenovirus, that could reproduce, saying it would be a "serious" defect.
Adenovirus is used in vaccines to load the genetic material of the coronavirus into the body, thus prompting an immune response. It should not replicate.
