Sputnik V Coronavirus Vax Has 95 Percent Efficacy, Says Russia-Politico

Russia's Sputnik V vaccine is more than 95 percent effective and will be free for all Russian citizens, the government announced Tuesday. Moscow's Gamaleya Research Institute, which serves under the Russian health ministry, said in a release that international markets will be able to purchase the serum for $10 per dose, with patients requiring two. This would mean Sputnik V is “cheaper than mRNA vaccines with similar efficacy levels,” the institute said, referring to the Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna candidates.
