 Russia registered Carnivac-Cov in March after tests showed it
generated antibodies against COVID-19 in dogs, cats, foxes and mink.
The first batch will be supplied to several regions of Russia, the
regulator Rosselkhoznadzor said in a statement.
It said companies from Germany, Greece, Poland, Austria, Kazakhstan,
Tajikistan, Malaysia, Thailand, South Korea, Lebanon, Iran and
Argentina had expressed interest in purchasing the vaccine.

The World Health Organization has voiced concern over the risk of
transmission of the virus between humans and animals. The Russian
regulator has said the vaccine would be able to protect vulnerable
species and thwart viral mutations.
"About 20 organisations are ready to negotiate registration and
supply of the vaccine to their countries. The file for registration
abroad, in particular in the European Union, is under preparation
and will be promptly used for the registration process," the Russian
watchdog said.
