Russia Okays Single-Dose Sputnik Light Covid-19 Vaccine, Has 79.4% Efficacy | Breaking News

Russia has authorised the one-shot Sputnik Light version of its Covid-19 vaccine for use, the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) said on Thursday, a move that could help vaccine supplies go further in countries with high infection rates.
Developed by Moscow's Gamaleya Institute, the slimmed-down vaccine, which the RDIF said is 79.4 per cent effective against Covid-19 and costs under $10 a dose, has been earmarked for export and could increase the number of people with partial immunity.
One of its main potential uses is as a vaccine that can be shipped to a country in the grip of an acute outbreak which needs to be subdued quickly. Watch full bulletin.

Hello from Russia

most of the elderly acquaintances were vaccinated with a Sputnik V (2 components)
when communicating with them, they did not complain about side effects
I'm going to inject it myself when the antibody level drops to a critical point after the disease
