Iran Press/Europe: The Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) announces the approval of Russia's Sputnik V vaccine against coronavirus in Montenegro and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
In total, 26 countries have already authorized Sputnik V", the RDIF said in a press release.
This means that Sputnik is "one of the world's top three coronavirus vaccines in terms of the number of approvals issued by government regulators."
Earlier this month, peer-reviewed medical journal The Lancet published an interim analysis from the phase III trials of the Sputnik V vaccine, showing its 91.6 percent efficacy against symptomatic COVID-19.
Russia's Sputnik V is the world's first vaccine against COVID-19 and was developed by the Gamaleya Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology and registered on 11 August.
Sputnik V uses two different vectors for the two-shot vaccination course, providing immunity with a longer duration than vaccines using the same delivery mechanism for both shots.
