A vaccine against COVID-19 for children, which is being developed by the Center. N.F. Gamaleya, they can call it Sputnik M, said the head of the institution Alexander Gintsburg.

The Chumakov Center explained the difference between the KoviVac and Sputnik V vaccines. According to the deputy head of the center, Konstantin Chernov, in the case of vector vaccines (Sputnik V), the emphasis is on an increased concentration of S-protein, “just to which we [in the Chumakov center], in turn, do not appeal.” “In people who were vaccinated with the CoviVac vaccine, but did not have contact with the “live” SARS-CoV-2 virus, experts record a very high level of antibodies, the body is mobilized literally in a matter of hours,” he said. - If we introduce the body to only a part of a pathogen, then, accordingly, it will react only to this part. In our case, the body sees several proteins at once and reacts to them.”

This summer, 203.6 tons of vaccines worth about $410 million were exported, according to the data of the Federal Customs Service. In January-May, it was only 159 tons for $303.6 million.
