Report: RDIF head: Sputnik V seen effective against new virus strain

MOSCOW, Dec 21 (PRIME) -- Russian vaccine Sputnik V will be effective against the SARS-CoV-2 and other mutations, head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund Kirill Dmitriev said on Monday.

"This is based on our conversations with the Gamaleya institute. We saw that the previous modifications, what is called S-protein, this is in fact the protein coding the coronavirus spine, that Sputnik coped very well with them,” Dmitriev said.

“This is why a preliminary analysis confirms that Sputnik V will be effective against this mutation and against other mutations as well."
