Russian military says their vaccine creates immunity to virus

Moscow: The Russian Defence Ministry said on Monday that the volunteers testing a vaccine against COVID-19 coronavirus had proved to be immune to the virus after the tests.

“The research results showed clearly that all volunteers had a clear immune response resulting from vaccination,” the ministry’s Zvezda broadcasting service reported. An immune response is a reaction that occurs within an organism for the purpose of defending against foreign invaders.

On the 42nd day after the first vaccination, the volunteers returned to the hospital and underwent an in-depth medical examination and diagnosis, it said.
