Moscow. Another breakthrough in the war against the Corona virus. The Russian vaccine Sputnik V is about 92 percent effective in the fight against the corona virus. Scientists have reported in an article published in The Lancet International Medical Journal that the vaccine has been found to be approximately 92% effective in fighting COVID-19 as a result of the third and last phase of the vaccine trial.
Experts said the results of Phase III testing meant that the world had another effective weapon to fight the deadly pandemic and this proved that the approval of the vaccine was used before the final data was released. Giving was the right decision.
The results of vaccines developed and tested by the Gemaleya Institute in Moscow were consistent with the efficacy data reported in the first stages of the trial, which has been in operation in Moscow since September. Ian Jones, professor at Reading University and Pauli Roy, professor at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said the development of the Sputnik vaccine has been criticized for inadvertently haste, corner harvesting and the absence of transparency.
The data from 19,866 Volunteer were included in the efficacy analysis. Of which 14,964 people were given the vaccine and 4,902 were given the placebo.
