The Director of the Center, Gamalei Alexander Gintsburg, from the Russian Ministry of Health, said that Russia has developed a coronavirus vaccine with a new antigenic composition, taking into account the appearance of the delta-omicron strain. This has been reported interfax.
According to Gunzburg, the Sputnik V vaccine works worse against the new strain. At the same time, the emergence of the delta-micron strain indicates that the virus has recombination-based variability pathways.
Gunzburg added that “delta-omicron” will not necessarily replace “omicron” and will not be more lethal.
“But this shows that this virus has a process of variability. This process can lead to the emergence of quite viable offspring, because the mechanism of variability is diverse, ”explained the head of the center. gamaleia
