The Secretary of Human Development and Health of the Government, Fernando Pacheco, confirmed that there is a “remnant” of Russian doses that are about to expire, but that represent only 1.6% of the total Sputnik V vaccines received.

There is always a percentage of the loss factor and, in this case, we are within the expected ”, he reiterated.

First 2 were established1 day between the first and second vaccines, then the term was extended to 90 days and subsequently to 180 days. The supply of the unit dose that is required to travel abroad was another factor.
