      How is Sputnik V will be Manage?

      The vaccine is given (0·5 mL/dose) intramuscularly in a prime-boost regimen.

      The Sputnik jab uses two slightly different versions for the first and second dose.

      The first dose (rAd26) is a different vector and the second dose is (rAd5).

      Both vectors carry the gene for full-length SARS-CoV-2 glycoprotein or protein S.

      Both target the coronavirus’s distinctive “spike” but use different vectors the neutralised virus that carries the spike to the body.

      The idea behind is that using two different formulas boost the immune system even more than using the same version twice.

      The vaccine is presently being use in 60 countries.
