Moscow — Russia's “Sputnik-V” Covid-19 vaccine produced an antibody response in all participants in early-stage trials, according to results published on Friday by The Lancet medical journal that were hailed by Moscow as an answer to its critics.
“Large, long-term trials including a placebo comparison, and further monitoring are needed to establish the long-term safety and effectiveness of the vaccine for preventing Covid-19 infection,” it said. “All of the boxes are checked,” he told Reuters. “Now ... we will start asking questions of some of the Western vaccines.”
More than half a dozen drugmakers are already conducting advanced clinical trials, each with tens of thousands of participants and several, including Britain’s AstraZeneca and US drugmakers Moderna and Pfizer expect to know if their Covid-19 vaccines work and are safe by the end of this year.
