"Russia is very close to successfully developing a cancer vaccine and a new generation of immunomodulators. I hope that these drugs will soon be used effectively in individual treatment regimens," Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a technology forum in Moscow on February 14.

Several countries and companies are working on cancer vaccines. The UK has signed a deal with Germany’s BioNTech in 2023 to deploy 10,000 experimental treatments for cancer patients by 2030.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there are currently six licensed vaccines that can protect against the human papillomavirus (HPV), which causes many types of cancer.
