They are:

Europe: Russia, Belarus, Serbia, Slovakia, Hungary, Armenia, Montenegro, San Marino, Moldova.

Asia: Turkmenistan, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Syria, Kyrgyzstan, Myanmar, Syria, Mongolia, Sri Lanka.

Africa and Middle East: Algeria, Angola, the Republic of the Congo, Djibouti, Republic of Guinea, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, Iran, Bahrain, Lebanon, Gabon, Egypt, Ghana.

The vaccine is also approved by the Palestinian Authority and by an entity of Bosnia and Herzegovina called the Srpska Republic, the press release said.

      The Sputnik V Covid 19 vaccine is a two shot vaccine with a gap of 21 days between the two doses while the Johnson and Johnson vaccine only requires one shot/injection. That's why so many countries want to get the Johnson and Johnson vaccine, because while it is substantially less effective than other vaccines, you can potentially vaccinate twice the amount of people in the same time frame

        Also the 66% efficacy rate at avoiding all symptoms is a lot less important than its efficacy in saving peoples' lives, which drops mortality rates comparably to Pfizer and Moderna's.

    Wonder how effective it is against the South African variant of Covid 19. Currently South Africa is stuck with only the Johnson and Johnson vaccine because it's the only one that's proven to be effective against this variant. If it is effective, pls Russia...

      Moderna and Pfizer are planning an additional booster shot to vaccinate against the variants that won't require a completely different vaccine process.
