Russia could approve non-Russian vaccines against COVID-19, including the shot developed by Pfizer and BioNTech, TASS cited the head of state healthcare regulator Roszdravnadzor as saying on Thursday.

Russia, which has the world's fourth-highest number of COVID-19 cases, plans to begin mass vaccinations next week.
