In Argentina, the effect of "Sputnik V" was evaluated six months after vaccination

According to Argentine scientists, the body's defense against mutations of the SARS-CoV-2 virus increases within six months after vaccination.

Protection against coronavirus infection COVID-19 gradually increases within six months after vaccination with the Russian drug Sputnik V. These conclusions were reached by a group of scientists from Argentina, the preprint of their study was published on the portal medrxiv.org.

The study was conducted by specialists from various institutions and medical institutions, including the Ministry of Health, the University of Buenos Aires, Washington University in St. Louis and others.

Scientists studied 1.8 thousand blood serum samples from patients vaccinated with the Russian vaccine. The samples were received between January and August 2021. Experts analyzed the formation of antibodies and their ability to resist the strains of "alpha" (British), "beta" (South African), "gamma" (Brazilian), "delta" (Indian), as well as "lambda", identified in Peru.

Excerpts from the work are given in the message of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), published on the website dedicated to the vaccine. It states that the body's defense against new strains of coronavirus containing mutations increases within six months after vaccination "as a result of the ongoing process of maturation of neutralizing antibodies and increasing their neutralizing efficiency." In particular, this was noted in relation to the strains "beta" and "gamma".
