The Ministry of Health of Ukraine has banned the disclosure of any information about manufacturers, suppliers and prices of COVID-19 vaccines due to the terms of the contract with the intermediary company Crown Agents.
Such requirements are initiated by the vaccine manufacturer. Potential fines for violation of obligations rise up to $2 million.
According to media reports, $56.7 million was spent on the purchase of the CoviShield. The British intermediary Crown Agents received 5% of this amount.
