At the Gamaleya Center of the Russian Ministry of Health, it was possible to develop a variant of the Sputnik V coronavirus vaccine, which was modified specifically for the Delta strain.
This was reported to “Interfax” by the head of the institution, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Alexander Gintsburg.
“There is already a vaccine design in the refrigerator,” said Gunzburg.
However, it is too early to talk about the degree of effectiveness of such a vaccine, the scientist noted.
“Everyone started to make a vaccine based on the sequence of the Delta strain, and whether it will be better (existing drugs. – Ed.) Against the Delta strain, no one can say a priori”, Gunzburg admitted.
