Pace quickens in global vaccine race

Russia is claiming victory after registering a new vaccine for Covid-19. However, the United States and many western countries are skeptical of the vaccine saying they have not seen the data. Meanwhile, the Trump administration has already signed deal worth over $1 billion for the new Moderna vaccine which is in phase III trials.
