Sputnik Light 70% effective against Delta variant, Russia says

Russia’s Sputnik Light vaccine shows 70% effectiveness against the Delta COVID-19 variant three months after injection.

The one-shot product is likely to become the country’s main vaccine, Russia’s sovereign wealth fund said on Wednesday.

The findings are part of a Russian push to promote Sputnik Light as an effective standalone vaccine and as a booster that can be combined with non-Russian vaccines.
