Sputnik vaccine is Russia's answer to COVID. Sputnik vaccine phase 3 trial was recently published in the Lancet. I will review the well-done study outlining the results of this vaccination. The Sputnik vaccine is an adenovirus vector vaccine using 2 different adenovirus vectors and the principle of prime boost immune response. The cost of Sputnik is $10 US per dose. Sputnik can be stored at a temperature of 2-8°C or 35-46°F easy distribution.
The vaccine will be produced in India, Brazil, China, South Korea and other countries. Russia claims that 50 countries have asked for 1.2 billion doses. Venezuela, and Iran have received their first shipments. Belarus, Bolivia, Argentina, Egypt, India, Mexico, Nepal, Palestine, Serbia and Venezuela are some of the countries that have also received shipments. Hungary was the first EU nation to approve it for use.
