Testing of the COVID-19 vaccine is likely to be completed in Azerbaijan in April-May 2021, Chief infectious disease specialist of the Azerbaijani Ministry of Health Teyar Eyvazov told Trend on Nov. 20.

“Three, four countries are already conducting third clinical tests of COVID-19 vaccine, which are assessed as effective,” Eyvazov added.
