The Russian government, which is developing a vaccine for the new coronavirus, has revealed that a single-dose vaccine has been newly approved.
The Russian government has approved three types of vaccines developed by its own country, including the approval of the new coronavirus vaccine "Sputnik V" in August last year.
Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova, who is in charge of infection control, announced at an online meeting with President Putin on the 6th that he would approve the fourth vaccine, "Sputnik Light," on the 6th.
This vaccine was developed by the same National Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology as "Sputnik V", and it is a type that requires only one inoculation.
According to the Russian Direct Investment Fund, a government fund involved in vaccine development, "Sputnik Wright" was confirmed to be 79.4% effective in final clinical trials.
In addition, after inoculating people aged 18 to 60, it will be exported overseas for less than $ 10 and Japanese yen for less than 1090 yen.
Russia has been developing "vaccine diplomacy" through active supply overseas, but President Putin has instructed Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova to consider removing the protection of patents in the future, and overseas. He showed his willingness to spread.
