Russia’s Covid 19 vaccine Sputnik V

Finally, data on a Phase III study, the Sputnik V vaccine, has been published in the prestigious Lancet journal, covering up past claims of vague claims. Efficiency up to 91.6%

Russian vaccine named after spacecraft That had been to space as the world’s first

The efficacy data is quite clear in the study. Sputnik V vaccines are vector viruses, like AstraZeneca, that use adenovirus to carry the genetic material into human cells and then human cells to make the coronavirus crust protein. Called protein sprites.

AstraZeneca uses the adenovirus of chimpanzees. To avoid human immunity, use 2 same needles

The Russian Sputnik V vaccine uses human adenovirus but uses two viruses, adenovirus 5 and adenovirus 26.

Injecting in 2 needles, the vaccine is used in different types. For example, first dose of adenovirus 5, second dose of adenovirus 26 to protect against adenovirus in the first dose. Interfering with the immune system of the second needle, which is reasonable.

According to the Russian experiment, it was found that If only one virus with the same vector was given, the second stimulation of immunity would be less. Unlike using different types of viruses Immunity is higher.

Therefore, the Russian Sputnik V vaccine to be injected 1 and 2 must be distinguished from each other. Will not inject the same vector virus Just like in AstraZeneca.

The information published in the Lancet journal makes the Russian vaccine. More reliable

The Sputnik V vaccine is registered for emergencies in 17 countries and is regulated by 1 country.

The prices posted on the company’s web page also state that the price is up to US $ 10, subject to negotiation.

When studied in detail, it is another interesting vaccine.
