The immunization drive in Russia has been hampered by widespread vaccine hesitancy. No data on its efficacy has been released yet. Russia’s Health Ministry is expected to approve a version of Sputnik V for teenagers aged 12 to 17 on Wednesday, Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova told Putin during the government meeting.Īccording to the Russia’s state registry of clinical trials, the jab, which is in essence a smaller dose of Sputnik V, was being tested on more than 3,600 volunteers. Data on efficacy of two other ones, EpiVacCorona and CoviVac, is yet to be released just like Sputnik V, these two shots have been given regulatory approval before completing late-stage trials necessary to establish their effectiveness in preventing disease. Russians are currently offered four domestically developed vaccines, with Sputnik V and Sputnik Light dominating the market. Fewer than 40% of Russia’s nearly 146 million people have been fully vaccinated, even though the country approved a domestically developed COVID-19 vaccine months before most of the world. The surge came amid low vaccination rates and lax public attitudes toward taking precautions. In recent weeks, Russia has been swept by its highest ever COVID-19 surge, with officials regularly registering record-high numbers of new infections and deaths. He said he didn’t experience any unpleasant effects after taking the nasal vaccine. Putin told a government meeting Wednesday that “exactly six months after vaccination my titers of protective (antibodies) have dropped, and specialists recommended the procedure of revaccination, which I did.” Last month, Russia’s Health Ministry gave a regulatory go-ahead to early trials of the nasal form of Sputnik V among 500 volunteers, but it was not immediately clear whether it has already started.

In accordance with established scientific protocols, the vaccine will need to go through several trial phases, including those involving thousands of people, to establish that it is safe and effective to use.

Putin was vaccinated with Sputnik V, Russia’s domestically developed COVID-19 vaccine, in the spring.
