Russia says it's developed a cancer vaccine and will launch it for free
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/...-cancer-vaccine-development-details-free.htmlRussia's health ministry claims it has developed a vaccine against cancer that will be rolled out to patients for free.
Andrey Kaprin, who heads the Radiology Medical Research Center of the Ministry of Health, said the shot will launch in early 2025, according to state-run media.
Previous comments by Russian government scientists suggest each shot is personalized for the individual patient, which is similar to cancer vaccines being developed in the West.
It is currently not clear which cancers the vaccine is designed to treat, how effective it is or how Russia plans to roll it out.
The name of the vaccine has not been revealed.
