According to him, the Sputnik Light vaccine was not created to replace Sputnik V.
Sputnik Light is the first component of the Sputnik V vaccine, it is created actually for rapid vaccination of the population, and also makes it possible to use the sick for vaccination, who already have a certain immunity to COVID-19, but it needs to be raised, “TASS quoted him as saying.
Sputnik Light is a lightweight version of the Sputnik V drug developed by the Gamalei Center. It consists of only one (first) component, and accordingly requires only one inoculation instead of two.
