Alexander Gintsburg, director of the Gamaleya National Research Center for Epidemiology and Microbiology, which created the COVID-19 vaccine, stated that it protects against all currently identified new variants.
Gintsburg says that data showed that the vaccine is both safe to use, as well as efficient. He added that Sputnik V was effective against the variants it was initially designed for but on top of that that is has shown significant results against the novel strains “constantly attacking us.”
In the future, the vaccine, according to the scientist, should stay effective and protect both Russians and people in nations where it is now being administered, TASS reports.

Russia’s health minister told media on Wednesday that the Sputnik V vaccine’s effectiveness against the coronavirus Delta strain is about 83 percent, according to reports. More than 95 percent of new coronavirus infections can be cured with this drug according to the researcher.
Anti-Delta vaccination Sputnik V now has the most efficient outcomes in terms of prevention.
“Our clinical colleagues in Russia have given us with the newest results, which suggest an effectiveness of around 83 percent,” he said.
A coronavirus infection might have a serious course, according to the health ministry. There is an almost 95 percent chance that the vaccination will prevent the severe course of a new coronavirus infection – and that includes hospitalization-causing illnesses.
This means that the drug is effective now and will continue to be effective in the future, he added, noting that the vaccination has a high safety profile as well as a high effectiveness rate.
