In recognition of quickly waning Pfizer vaccine efficacy US FDA recommends reducing interval for Pfizer booster shot from 6 months to 5 months. Instead, booster by other vaccines is needed to lengthen Pfizer vaccine protection particularly against #Omicron
Gamaleya Institute: “Russian Ministry of Health recommends Sputnik Light booster 6 months after vaccination to increase protection against #Omicron and other mutations.” Sputnik vaccines showed high level of virus neutralizing antibodies and T cells against #Omicron
Sputnik Light is a universal booster to other vaccines for fastest, strongest and longest protection against #Omicron and other mutations.

1/4 Sputnik team has been the 1st to raise issue with quickly dropping efficacy of mRNA vaccines and relentlessly offered cooperation through mix&match/combo vaccine approach that works better against emerging mutations such as #Omicron and #Delta.
2/5 According to Swedish data Pfizer vaccine’s efficacy against #Delta COVID strain is falling to below 30% after 6 months.

3/5 The UK Health Security Agency said those who had received three doses of Pfizer’s vaccine saw their protection against symptomatic illness caused by #Omicron variant drop to 45 percent within 10 weeks.

1/5 BREAKING: #SputnikV induces robust neutralizing antibody response to #Omicron, further strengthened by Sputnik Light booster, performing 3-7x better than other (including mRNA) vaccines. Light’s efficacy vs Omicron expected ~80% after 2-3 months.

2/5 Vaccines virus neutralization decrease against #Omicron:
Pfizer: 41x
Moderna: 49-84x
Sputnik V: 11.8x
Sputnik’s showed 3-7x less of a reduction than mRNA vaccines.
3/5 Virus neutralizing activity against #Omicron 2-3 months after Sputnik Light booster is higher than VNA vs “wild-type” virus 6 months after Sputnik V vaccination. Based on these data expected efficacy of Sputnik Light as a booster against Omicron could be more than 80%.
New study by Honduras' @UNAHoficial showed #SputnikV & Moderna or Pfizer combo is effective & safe.
It proves the success of mix&match approach, pioneered by #SputnikV. 1-shot Sputnik Light is ideal booster for mRNA, whose efficacy falls to below 50% 5 months after vaccination.
UNAH study found that combinations’ immune response exceeded that achieved with conventional homologous schemes.
Sputnik was world’s 1st vaccine cocktail, pioneered mix&match with other vaccines & offered 1-shot Sputnik Light as booster.
BREAKING: #SputnikV will soon offer a booster shot, adjusted to work against the Delta variant of coronavirus, first detected in India, to other vaccine manufacturers. Below are the highlights of Sputnik V’s pioneering role in developing vaccine cocktails.
Sputnik V was the 1st #COVID vaccine cocktail in the world when created by the Gamaleya Center in April 2020. It uses heterogeneous boosting with 2 shots by 2 different adenoviral vectors Ad5 & Ad26 as we explained in this op-ed published nearly a year ago sputnikvaccine.com/newsroom/forbi…
Moreover, the vaccine developed by the Gamaleya Center against the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) in 2019, even before the novel coronavirus outbreak, was also a vaccine cocktail.
