Two doses of the Sputnik V vaccine are given. It is made using adenovirus in a viral vector platform similar to the Kovidshield vaccine. A gap of 21 days will be kept between two doses of the vaccine. This vaccine can be easily stored at a temperature of 2 to 8 degrees Celsius.
Who can be given the vaccine?
The Sputnik V vaccine can be given to anyone above 18 years of age. No information has been revealed so far about giving vaccines of this vaccine to children and pregnant women. Children and pregnant women were not included in the trial of Sputnik V.
