Chinanews.com, December 28 According to a report by Russian satellite network on the 28th, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Golikova recently gave a positive answer to the question of whether the Russian-made coronavirus vaccine is effective against mutant COVID-19, and stressed that there is no need to doubt it.
Recently, the United Kingdom announced the discovery of a mutant strain of the novel coronavirus, and the transmission capacity of the new mutant virus may be 70% higher than that of the original virus.
According to the report, in response to the emerging mutant virus, Golikova said, “We are studying this variant very carefully now, because the British side has published the genome.”
Asked if the coronavirus vaccine developed in Russia was effective for the strain, she gave a positive answer and said, “There is no reason to doubt this at this time.”
Russia’s first coronavirus vaccine, Sputnik V, was registered on August 11.
This vaccine is a human adenovirus vector vaccine.
It adopts a two dose inoculation procedure, with a three-week interval.
On December 14, the official website of the “Sputnik V” coronavirus vaccine announced that the effectiveness of the vaccine is 91.4%, which can prevent 100% of severe COVID-19 infection.
