The study showed that under the same conditions of high levels of antibodies generated by both vaccines, 100% of those inoculated with Sputnik V neutralized Omicron, against 83.3% of those vaccinated with Pfizer.
In the tests carried out with sera, 74.2% of the samples vaccinated with Sputnik V neutralized this variant, compared to 56.9% of those inoculated with Pfizer.
The president of the FIDR, Kiril Dmítriev, defended this Thursday the combination of immunizing products to stop the coronavirus pandemic worldwide.

We must remember that our future lies in the combination of various vaccines “, he stated in an online press conference.
