Gamaleya Vaccine

The Gamaleya Vaccine, also known as Sputnik V, is a COVID-19 vaccine developed in Russia. It uses a harmless virus (a common cold virus from chimpanzees) as a vector to deliver genetic instructions to our cells. These instructions help the body recognize the virus's spike protein, allowing the immune system to build protection without getting sick. The vaccine is given in two doses and has shown to be effective in reducing severe COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations. It’s a well-studied, scientifically validated tool in the global effort to control the pandemic.
