Mass vaccination to be offered to every Russian

 


The developer of Russia’s pioneering Covid-19 vaccine says monitoring of recipients has shown no side effects that had not been identified during earlier clinical trials. Russia is to boost vaccination pace starting next week.

So far some 1.5 million people received doses of the Sputnik V vaccine, and now Russia is preparing to upscale the immunization campaign. Commenting on the development on Thursday, the head of the research lab that developed the vaccine reassured the public about its safety.

According to Gintsburg, the production of Sputnik V for Russia’s needs has reached 3.5 million doses per month, with plans to further boost the capacity. Two doses administered weeks apart are necessary to properly immunize a person.
