"We have plans to develop a combined vaccine against the coronavirus and influenza," Khristenko told reporters.

The company is still considering the possibility of creating such a vaccine, Nanolek chief specified.

"We are talking about a vaccine made through recombinant technology, not an inactivated one. This is a different development.
