It should be noted, Sputnik V was certified in Russia on August 11, 2020, becoming the first officially registered vaccine against coronavirus worldwide.
It became the first preparation on the adenoviral platform developed using the unique heterogeneous boosting ("vaccine cocktail") approach.
Thanks to the use of two different vectors for the vaccine’s two components, a stronger and more durable immune response is achieved.
To date, Sputnik V has been certified in 69 countries with the total population surpassing 3.7 billion people.
