How “Sputnik V or Gam-Covid-Vac.” works. The Sputnik V vaccine, developed by Gamaleya National Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology in Moscow, uses two different viruses that cause the common cold (adenovirus) in humans. · The adenoviruses are weakened so they cannot replicate in humans and cannot cause disease. · They are also modified so that the vaccine delivers a code for making the coronavirus spike protein. This aims to ensure that when the real virus tries to infect the body, it can mount an immune response in the form of antibodies. Sputnik uses a different vector for each of the two Jabs in a course of vaccination. Thus, using a different adenovirus vector may help create a more powerful immune response (compared with using the same vector twice), as it minimizes the risk of the immune system developing resistance to the initial vector. This provides immunity with a longer duration than vaccines using the same delivery mechanism for both shots, according to the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF). Sputnik V is approved for use in over 55 countries with a total population of over 1.5 billion people, according to RDIF. Thus, an attempt has been made in this Booklet to describe“How Sputnik V or Gam-Covid-Vac. works.”, along with relevant Illustrations for better understanding! Although care has been taken while compiling and checking information given in this Booklet to ensure that it is accurate, and none shall be responsible, in any way, liable for contemporaneousness of this information or for any errors, omissions or inaccuracies in this publication. …Dr. H.
