Sputnik V has been approved for emergency use in India

Russia’s Covid vaccine Sputnik V has been approved for emergency use in India. However, it will take some time for this vaccine to be included in India’s vaccination program. But there is a good news related to this. Russian scientists have found Sputnik V to be 97.6% effective against COVID-19 in a new assessment.

The Gamalaya Institute of Moscow, which created this vaccine, and the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), which funds it, have given information about this.

According to a Reuters report, based on an assessment of the data of 38 lakh people, this efficacy has been revealed. Russian scientists are calling it ‘real = world assessment’. That means an assessment of the people who were given the vaccine.

How did you get a new result?

The new data is based on the 38 lakh Russian people who have received both the first and booster doses of the vaccine. These people received the Sputnik V under Russia’s National Vaccination Program.

“These data confirm that Sputnik V offers one of the best defenses against coronaviruses in all vaccines,” said RDIF CEO Kirill Dimitrev.

“The data was collected based on the database of the Ministry of Health registering vaccinated people and the database of people infected with Covid in the country,” the official statement said.

The new data will be published in a peer-reviewed journal next month.

Good news for India

The new data that is effective for the vaccine is even better than the old data. After a major trial in February, Sputnik V was found to be 91.6% effective. The results of this trial were published in The Lancet Medical Journal.

At first a lot of questions were being raised on Sputnik V, only after these results were published in the Lancet, the attitude towards this vaccine was changed.

Now this new data has come and it is better than the previous one. This vaccine has been approved in India and is quite effective as compared to other vaccines given in the country.

Order received for one billion doses

Kirill Dmitriev, head of Russia’s direct investment fund, said orders have been received from 20 countries for a billion doses of the vaccine. Russia, along with its partners in four countries, will make 500 million doses of it every year. He said that Latin American, West and South Asian countries have shown interest in purchasing this vaccine and many contracts have been done.

Earlier, Russian President Putin said that this morning, for the first time in the world, the vaccine has been registered against the new corona virus. He thanked all those who worked on this vaccine. Putin claimed that the vaccine had gone through all the required tests. Now this vaccine will be sent for mass production.

Kirill Dimitric compared the creation of the vaccine to the 1957 Sputnik 1 satellite in the Soviet Union, the world’s first satellite. It was hailed as a historic Sputnik moment. He said that the vaccine will be marketed in foreign markets under the name of ‘Sputnik V’. 

Putin’s daughter was vaccinated 

However, this vaccine will be available to the general public from January 1 next year. Putin said in a government meeting on Tuesday that the vaccine has stood the test and has been successful in strengthening human immunity against the corona virus. He said that mass production of this important vaccine for the world would be started soon.

The Russian president said that one of his two daughters had been given the vaccine. Her daughter had mild fever after the first dose. There was a mild fever even after the second dose and after that everything went well and the antibodies increased. Let us know that a fever after applying the vaccine means that the vaccine is working.

The vaccine has been developed by the Russian Ministry of Defense and the Gamalaya Research Institute. There are two injections in this vaccine. As a liquid and a soluble powder. On the website of the government department that registers the drug, it has been told that this vaccine will be available for the general public from January 1 next year. Then Russia will start mass vaccination. 

Clinical trial started on 18 June

According to media reports, the first phase of human trials (clinical trials) for this vaccine in Russia began on 18 June. 38 volunteers were vaccinated. The second phase of human trials began on 13 July. Then on August 3, all these people were tested and all were found to have strong immunity. The first group was discharged from the hospital on 15 July and the second group on 20 July. According to Dmitriev, the clinical trial of the third phase of this vaccine will be done in the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and other countries.

Who will get first vaccine 

Russia’s Health Minister Mikhail Murashko has said that the vaccine will be first applied to medical workers, teachers and people associated with risk-seeking groups. After this, the senior citizen will be given vaccine. He said that it will be produced at two places in the country. Apart from this, it will be produced along with the other four partners of the world.

Production can take place from September on a large scale 

Currently, this vaccine has been prepared on a limited scale. If its regulatory approval has been found, then the industrial level of this vaccine can start from September. Russia has said that it can start vaccinating nationwide from October.

Many scientists including America suspect the vaccine

Many scientists around the world, including the US, are skeptical of Russia’s move in terms of security and questioning the decision to register the vaccine before the Phase III trial. Phase III testing of any vaccine typically lasts for thousands of months. US Health Minister Alex Azar said that more important than making the world’s first vaccine is to make a safe and effective vaccine.

WHO has also warned

The World Health Organization (WHO) has already warned Russia, given the continuing apprehensions over a compromise with security. The WHO last week suggested to Russia to stick to its stated standards for the development of safe and effective vaccines.

According to researchers at the Russian National Research University Higher School of Economics, with the help of these potential drugs, structural elements of the corona virus can be absorbed in the treatment. In a study published in the journal Mendeleev Communications, researchers said that a protein called M-Pro has an important role in replicating the corona virus. By curbing this ability, replication of the corona inside the body can be completely stopped. This dangerous virus infects human cells in this way.

The severity of the virus can be reduced

The drug was tested with drugs approved by the American Food and Drug Administration to get rid of alcohol addiction. Researchers reported that commonly used drugs to relieve alcohol addiction were found to be effective in combating corona in two ways. This can reduce symptoms as well as reduce the severity of the virus. He said that more research needs to be done regarding these drugs. Earlier studies have also revealed the treatment of corona virus with many existing drugs. 

Corona’s havoc continues worldwide

Please tell that Corona is playing havoc all over the world. Its first case was reported in December last year in Wuhan, China. Since then about one crore 90 lakh people have been infected all over the world and seven lakh people have died. America has been the most affected by this. So far, about 50 lakh cases have been reported here and about one lakh 60 thousand people have died.
