SPUTNIK V AT YENEPOYA HOSPITALS

Yenepoya Group of Hospitals is proud to announce the procurement of internationally approved vaccine against Covid – 19 – SPUTNIK – V (Russian Vaccine). Since the Covid 19 pandemic broke, Yenepoya Group of Hospitals has dedicated their entire resources towards the betterment of the Covid affected patients. With this aim, we have been one of the first institutes in Karnataka to procure the – SPUTNIK – V vaccine. In order to ensure easy accessibility to the beneficiaries, two vaccination sites have been set up in the city of Mangalore. The first location is at Yenepoya Medical College Hospital, Deralakatte and the second one at Yenepoya Speciality Hospital, Kodialbail, Mangalore. The management has provided excellent facilities at each of the vaccination sites with special emphasis on safety to ensure smooth experience to the beneficiaries. The vaccine will be provided at the Government approved rates. The second dose of the vaccine can be administered after 21 days.

Sputnik V — also known as Gam- COVID-Vac — was the first COVID-19 vaccine to be registered for use in any nation, and it has since been approved in 67 countries, including Brazil, Hungary, India and the Philippines. The late stage trial results published in The Lancet reveal that Sputnik V coronavirus vaccine gives around 92% protection against Covid-19. It has also been deemed to be safe - and offer complete protection against hospitalisation and death.

It is similar to the Oxford–AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson vaccines. But instead of using one engineered adenovirus, as those two vaccines do, Sputnik V uses different adenoviruses, called rAd26 and rAd5, for the first and second doses, respectively.

According to an April press release from the Gamaleya Institute from 3.8 million Russians vaccinated with two doses also point to an efficacy of 97.6%,. Figures released by the United Arab Emirates Ministry of Health, on some 81,000 individuals who had received two doses of the vaccine, suggested 97.8% efficacy in preventing symptomatic COVID-19 and 100% efficacy in preventing severe disease.
