A comment on Sputnik V vaccine peer reviewed with efficacy of 91.6%. Parent comment
Russian medical factories were pretty much wiped out after USSR collapse and foreign corporations took the market.
Only in recent decade domestic product started to see the light of day, but still not enough production power.
So for now, Russian factories produce Sputnik shots just for Russia, but we’re selling license and ‘precursor’, so buyer can produce shots itself.
