Russia Officially Registered Vaccine (Sputnik V) Against Covid-19:
Russia has officially registered a vaccine against coronavirus. Russian President Vladimir Putin said on state television on Tuesday that the vaccine, developed by the Gamaleya Institute in Moscow, had been officially registered. The vaccine against Kovid-19 has been dubbed 'Megemal'. Reuters reports that the vaccine has been dubbed "Sputnik V".
According to international media reports, in a televised cabinet meeting, Russian President Vladimir Putin said the vaccine had passed all necessary tests. Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced that one of his daughters has been vaccinated against high fever. He said that his daughter's health has improved after the vaccination.
"I would like to reiterate that the vaccine has passed all the necessary tests, complete safety is of paramount importance in the use of the vaccine, and it has worked effectively," the Associated Press quoted Russian President Vladimir Putin as saying.
At the first meeting, Putin said his daughter's temperature had dropped from 38 degrees Celsius (100.4 degrees Fahrenheit) to 37 degrees Celsius (98.6 degrees Fahrenheit) the next day. He informed that although the body temperature was reported to have increased a little after the second injection, everything has been favorable since then. He did not say which of his daughters, Maria and Katrina, had been vaccinated.
Officials involved in vaccine development have said that the vaccine will work for at least two years. Officials say large-scale vaccine production will begin in September. The vaccine will be open to the public from the first week of October, the AP said, citing officials.
Following the outbreak of a coronavirus outbreak in Russia, President Trump has instructed to shorten clinical trials and develop vaccines as soon as possible. Last month, Alexander Ginsberg, a professor at the Gamalea Institute for Vaccine Development, said he and other researchers had tested the vaccine on himself.
The human test began on June 17 with 76 volunteers. Thirty-eight people were injected with the liquid. The remaining 38 were given soluble powder. The first half was taken from the Russian army. As Russia prepares for the test, the United States, Britain and Canada last month accused Russia of using "hackers" to steal vaccine research from laboratories in the West.
Such information about vaccine development has come out while Russia is being accused of failing to complete the safety, effectiveness and necessary procedures of the vaccine it is developing.
Russian officials told CNN that the third round of testing would begin after the vaccine was approved. Russia has not released scientific data on vaccines.
CNN claims that information about the vaccine may have come out to portray Russia as a force for global scientific research amid political pressure from the Kremlin.
The World Health Organization (WHO) says vaccines must pass all stages of testing before they can be used. Otherwise, the health organization has been emphasizing the effectiveness of the vaccine, the negative impact on the body, and the loss of credibility of the vaccine.
