CGTN Europe • 3m 40s
Vaccine collaboration is critical in combating the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the World Health Organization's Margaret Harris.
This comes after UK pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca revealed on Friday it would look into combining its own COVID-19 vaccine with Russia's Sputnik V, in the hope it could boost efficacy.
Speaking to CGTN Europe, Harris welcomed the news: "This kind of collaboration, this kind of solidarity is what's going to get us out of trouble.
"Transparency, the sharing of data and results is exactly how we're going to use the science in solidarity to achieve real solutions."
