"Vaccination with Sputnik V has produced protective neutralising titers against new variants, including Alpha B.1.1.7 (first identified in the UK), Beta B.1.351 (first identified in South Africa), Gamma P.1 (first identified in Brazil), Delta B.1.617.2 and B.1.617.3 (first identified in India) and Moscow endemic variants B.1.1.141 and B.1.1.317", the Gamaleya Centre and RDIF said in a press release. Back in August 2020, Sputnik V became the world’s first officially registered vaccine against the novel coronavirus. It has since been approved in 67 countries worldwide, and its efficacy is estimated to be at 97.6%, according to an analysis of data on vaccinated Russians.
