Russia announced, today, Monday, that Sputnik’s vaccine is effective against the mutated strain of Corona.
On the other hand, the European Medicines Agency pitched Sarah Sarah on Monday, and said that the Pfizer vaccine is effective against the new strain.
The Director-General of the Agency, Emyr Cook, said in a press conference on Corona vaccines that the evidence showed that the benefits of the Pfizer vaccine are greater than its harm, noting that there is no evidence that the vaccine is ineffective against the new mutated strain.
This comes at a time when the world began to fear the new strain of the virus, which the preliminary results indicate is more dangerous than the first version of the virus.
Earlier, the Gamalia Research Center for Epidemiology and Microbiology said that the effectiveness of the Russian “Sputnik-V” vaccine for Corona reached 95% after 42 days of trials.
A single dose of the Russian vaccine costs less than $ 10 for distribution to international markets.
The Russian Investment Fund, which is developing the vaccine, is expanding agreements with international partners to produce the vaccine to more than 500 million people in 2021.
Last August, Russia announced the registration of the world’s first vaccine against “Covid-19”. And the director of the Department of Pediatric and Obstetric Care at the Russian Ministry of Health, Elena Bayparina, announced last Friday that the third phase of trials of the “Sputnik-V” vaccine shows that its effectiveness is very high.
