World.-The developers of the Russian anticovid Sputnik V vaccine requested the registration of the drug Sputnik Light, for application in a single dose. “Sputnik V has already filed the urgent registration application in Russia and other countries for their single-dose Sputnik Light vaccine,” they reported that producers officially took into account the Twitter drug and added that it “goes out into the world in March.”
The Moscovites authorities reported on the eve of the start of the third phase of clinical testing of this drug.
Unlike Sputnik V of the Gamaleya Center, which requires two injections with a 21-day hiatus, Sputnik Light consists of a single dose.
Gamaleya director Alexandr Gintsburg explained that the safety of the single-dose vaccine is “demonstrated”, but its effectiveness for use among the elderly should still be studied. In his view, Sputnik Light will serve to reduce mortality in situations where it is impossible to inoculate the two doses needed to strengthen immunity.
Vladimir Putin presented the “Sputnik Light”, which was estimated to be 85% effective at the annual press conference in mid-December.
The chairman of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (FIDR), Kiril Dmítriev, explained that Sputnik Light is aimed at the foreign market and “can become an interim and effective solution for many countries at the peak of the disease and want to save as many lives as possible.”
In Russia the number of new contagions maintains its trend of gradual downwards, during the last 24 hours 11,359 cases were detected. According to health authorities, 379 patients died.
