That sputnik V vaccine is only available for phase 3 testing tho! It wasn't even a confirmed and safe vaccine as of now. There are news that once it pass the phase 3, they want to mass produce it asap, but nope! It still requires phase 4, we cannot rely on vaccines that are created without the proper testing.
There are more than 10 vaccines that are trying to be tested for phase 3 in our country, I just hope no side effects would emerge from the people who are trying these vaccines, I am hoping for a vaccine too, but a vaccine that has gone through the right process of course!
There is good news for Sputnik V. Yesterday a report from
The Lancet (one of the most reputed medical journals in the world) confirmed that Sputnik V was 100% successful in producing antibodies against the Coronavirus for those who participated in the Phase 3 testing. But these trials involved only 38 individuals and more people may need to be tested before the WHO would certify the vaccine.
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-54036221I just read the article and yup there are only 38 participants, we have to wait for the results of the 40,000 participants. The first trial are age 18-60 for 42 days, and those are healthy. We should know the complications it has for older people and who are sick and other medical conditions. I hope this vaccine will prove itself with that. I'm hoping this is it, but really, Sputnik V has a long way to go.
Also read that the most common side effects of this vaccine trial are joint pains and headaches. Is there any side effects for other people who has underlying medical conditions? We need an answer for that.
Experts say the trials were too small to prove effectiveness and safety.
