So, along with Sputnik V, Hungary uses Moderna, Pfizer-BioNTech, Sinopharm and AstraZeneca. The studies were conducted from January 22 to June 10, 2021.
“With an efficacy rate against coronavirus deaths of 98 percent and an efficacy against infection of 85.7 percent, Sputnik V performed the best among the top five vaccines (“Sputnik V”, Moderna, Pfizer-BioNTech, Sinopharm and AstraZeneca) used by the EU Member State – Hungary, as part of an independent study of the data of 3.7 million vaccinated persons “, – Interfax quotes the CEO of the Russian Direct Investment Fund ( RDIF) Kirill Dmitriev.
