EC said in a statement that the pre-contract applied to all European Union member states and that new hundred million doses would be ordered if proved efficient and safe.

It will donate the vaccines to less developed countries and continues negotiations with other producers of the vaccine, but does not specify.

The British vaccine is currently going through the second and third broad clinical trials for safety and its immunogenicity. 

Russia's President Vladimir Putinsaid on Tuesday his country had produced the vaccine and that it would soon be administrated.

However, the announcement caused some concerns in the West, with scientists worldwide saying that the headlong rush could backfire.
