The head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) Kirill Dmitriev has revealed the percentage of protection against death among those vaccinated with the Russian Sputnik V vaccine. About it report “News”.
According to Dmitriev, a study conducted two weeks ago in Hungary showed that the Russian drug protects against death from coronavirus by 98 percent.

Highest efficiency
The head of the RDIF also stressed that the Russian vaccine has shown the highest efficiency and safety in comparison with drugs from other manufacturing countries.
This is the highest rate. This means that people vaccinated with Sputnik V are 130 times better protected from death from coronavirus than unvaccinated people. This is the highest level of protection among the five vaccines tested. There were Moderna, Pfizer, Sinopharm, AstraZeneca, and Sputnik showed the highest efficiency
Research has shown that the effectiveness of the Sputnik V vaccine lasts longer than other drugs. This is evidenced by the experience of mass use of the drug in San Marino and other countries. “This is a long-term vaccine, its safety has been proven by data from all countries where Sputnik is used, including Mexico, where it has been shown that Sputnik has no serious side effects, and the number of minor side effects is several times less than that of other vaccines. This is data on more than 100 million people in the world outside of Russia who received the Sputnik V vaccine, ”says Dmitriev.
Recognition in the world
December 3 Dmitriev gave an interview to the newspaper La Nacion, in which he explained the delay in the approval of the Russian vaccine against coronavirus “Sputnik V” by the World Health Organization (WHO) by bureaucratic obstacles.
The Russian Ministry of Health maintains close ties with WHO, and we understand that there are still small obstacles in our path, but they are exclusively bureaucratic in nature.
According to Dmitriev, Moscow sees no particular reason why WHO is hesitant to recognize the vaccine, since the effectiveness of Sputnik V has been confirmed not only by publications in authoritative medical journals, but also by real data from around the world. He also noted that after the approval of the drug, vaccination with it will allow Russians to enter even more countries.
He also added that the Russian Ministry of Health plays an important role in deciding whether the vaccine is recognized in Europe. According to the head of the RDIF, for travel between countries, the recognition of Russian certificates is more important than the recognition of the WHO vaccine by the Russian Federation.

Currently “Sputnik V” is registered in 70 countries, the total population of which is about four billion people. The drug is manufactured by more than 20 companies in 14 countries around the world. In Russia, the vaccine efficiency of the Gamaleya Center was 97.6 percent. The drug was 83.1 percent effective against the delta strain.
Sputnik V against a new strain
The chief infectious disease specialist of the Ministry of Health, Vladimir Chulanov, said that vaccination is the only way to avoid an outbreak of the omicron-strain of coronavirus in Russia. According to the physician, the ability of the omicron to be transmitted from person to person is more pronounced. “In terms of how to protect yourself, I would like to call for vaccination, because this is the only tool that allows you to manage the risks of coronavirus infection,” he said. The specialist calls vaccinations a tool that can help prevent an outbreak
A similar opinion was expressed by Doctor of Medical Sciences Dmitry Edelev. According to the doctor, there is only one effective way not to become infected with a new strain – vaccination with Sputnik V. He noted that health workers in South Africa have been vaccinated by Johnson & Johnson.
It is a vector vaccine that is very similar to Sputnik V. Doctors in South Africa do not get sick. Johnson & Johnson is working, so Sputnik V will also work
According to doctors, the vaccinated will have an immune response to the omicron-strain, since the type of virus itself remains the same.
