Sputnik V vaccine has been developed by the Gamaleya National Research Center of Epidemiology and Microbiology and Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF).

Dr. S K Raut, Head of Clinical Research Department of Noble Hospital said that Seventeen healthy volunteers were administered Sputnik V vaccine in the last three days as part of human trials.

The selection of the volunteers was done as per the laid-down norms as they need to be healthy, doctors said.
