(CNN)As governments across the globe scramble to secure Covid-19 vaccine doses for humans, Russia has registered the world's first coronavirus vaccine for animals, state media outlet TASS reported Wednesday.
The vaccine is named Carnivak-Cov, TASS said, citing Konstantin Savenkov, the deputy head of Russia's Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance (Rosselkhoznadzor.)
"Carnivak-Cov, a sorbate inactivated vaccine against the coronavirus infection for carnivorous animals, developed by Rosselkhoznadzor's Federal Center for Animal Health, has been registered in Russia. So far, it is the world's first and only product for preventing Covid-19 in animals," Savenkov said Wednesday.
The vaccine will likely go into mass production as early as April, according to the TASS report.
Clinical trials of Carnivak-Cov began last October, Savenkov said. The research involved dogs, cats, foxes, Arctic foxes, minks and other animals.
Savenkov said all the vaccinated animals developed antibodies and that the outcome of the research gave Russia "grounds to conclude that the vaccine is safe and has strong immunogenic effect."
The report said that the effect of the vaccine "is estimated to last no less than six months," quoting Savenkov.
"According to Russian scientists, the use of the vaccine can prevent further mutations of the virus" the official said, adding that multiple firms from Greece, Poland and Austria plan to buy the vaccine.
Savenkov added that companies from the US, Canada and Singapore have also "demonstrated interest."
In May last year, Denmark culled 17 million minks over concerns the animals were spreading a mutated form of coronavirus.
A new report from the World Health Organization has also said Covid-19 probably spread to people through an animal.
Russia was the first country in the world last year to approve a coronavirus vaccine in humans, though its early rollout before Phase 3 trials had finished was criticized globally.
Interim analysis of the Sputnik V coronavirus vaccine released in February suggests that it is 91.6% effective against symptomatic Covid-19 and 100% effective against severe and moderate disease.

What is akward though is they don't want to disclose the name of the vaccine.
Could you please stop parroting 5th column libtard talking points? You keep making shit up out of non issues
Sure, should I also rise my left hand up in the sky while shouting ¨Long live Putin!¨ to my computer screen?
This has never been about the truth. Russia could have the cheapest, safest, most effective vaccine in the world (which I think they pretty much do now). Still, western establishment would never admit it.GarryB wrote:Russia should fight lies and deception with the truth... gather together the actual results and publish the full truth... something the western drug companies don't seem that keen on publishing themselves.

When there are money and power invovled things always turn into a dirty game.
Is there any update on the possibility to manufacture Sputnik in EU (Germany and Italy)? This is the right way to aproach it I think- divide and conquer.
The one shot Sputnik Lite is great news too. And this animal vaccine Russians did is the cherry of the cake. Good job!

BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany is currently negotiating with Russia on an advance purchase agreement of its Sputnik V COVID-19 vaccine, Health Minister Jens Spahn said on Friday.
Spahn told a news conference that the requirements were approval by the European Medicines Agency, as well as whether doses would be available within the next few months.
“The crucial question for me is what will happen in the second or third quarter, because that makes a difference for the current phase of this vaccination campaign,” Spahn said.

That is true... and the zealots don't care.
Those that despise Putin... because that is what they have been told to do by western media, wont care about whether Sputnik V works well or is in fact the best choice... the most rapid anti Putin people live in the west so their choice to take Sputnik V is limited anyway plus the propaganda is not just Putin is bad... it is also that our stuff is the best you can get... and if you have a seizure because of the Pfizer jab, no one will know because western media and social networks will not let your family talk about that... criticism of western vaccines is anti vax propaganda... if you have a seizure after taking Sputnik it would be the most important news since 11/9 attacks or Pearl Harbour was attacked by the Japanese.
What will happen is that in 2 years time they will look back and list the results of the jabs and... oh... Sputnik V was actually effective and cheap with few side effects and 100% effective against severe corona virus infections that kill people anyway. The percentage that get the virus anyway have mild cases and don't need to be hospitalised... but it is like the Syrian gas attacks or the Skripals or Saddams WMDs... it does not matter that you find out later it was all western propaganda bullshit... there are no consequences... those anti assad and anti putin and anti russia nutters wont concede it didn't happen... look at the US democrats now, they still talk about Russian hackers in the 2016 US election... their own guy didn't find anything at all, but that does not matter because the truth does not matter.
If they didn't do it... they wanted to... so they are our enemies... because they are just like us because we do that sort of shit when given the chance...
But don't you love the irony... Putin does have people murdered... but they are actual terrorists like Chechen terrorists that murdered Children at Beslan... he woudn't waste his power killing political opponents... or ex spies... that is petty and pathetic... the sort of shit the west does all the time.
People in the west believe the anti putin propaganda because the accusations of wrong doing generally is stuff the west does... stealing state funds, murdering people, going on holiday and taking off his shirt... which makes it amusing when it turns out the really bad things he is accused of doing.... even invading the Ukraine... there is no evidence... yet US troops are there.... HATO troops are there... US and HATO weapons are supplied to the Ukraine so they can bomb and shell their own people...
The irony is that the people who hate Putin should hate the west because while he is not guilty of most of the crimes they accuse him of, the west certainly is, and as Putin rightly pointed out... when someone calls you names it is often names that apply better to themselves... when evidence appears... as Assange or Snowden or Manning, or many other CIA whistleblowers in prison or going to prison for revealing evidence of warcrimes by the WEST.
No investigation into that evidence... there is no free press to hold the west accountable... ironically except for Russia Today, which is Americans in America reporting on stories in America... fully signed up as foreign agents...
Is there any update on the possibility to manufacture Sputnik in EU (Germany and Italy)? This is the right way to aproach it I think- divide and conquer.
The one shot Sputnik Lite is great news too. And this animal vaccine Russians did is the cherry of the cake. Good job!
I think Germany is talking with the Russian company about production but only in the interests of speed... so probably not.
They are like Russia talking to France over Mistral helicopter carriers... Russia went to France because it was a proven design that worked... an operational off the shelf solution that could both have been in service now with two more likely ordered.
Germany has found it is seriously short of vaccines so its interests in Sputnik V is merely to plug gaps... if they can't get a lot in the next few months then they are not interested because production of other types will fill the gaps they have at the moment.
They are waiting for EU approval of Sputnik V and I suspect they will take their own sweet time... but who cares about EU citizens dying in the mean time... what if Sputnik V turns your hear green or your heart red... or makes you not hate Putin so much... those sort of side effects will not be tolerated in the west...
At first I thought the animal vaccine was a joke but seeing the Danish put down 15,000 minks with the virus I sort of realised the fixation the west has with their pets. Most Americans probably spend more on their pets than they do on helping the poor... that is a huge market... imagine the panic if someone suggested putting down all cats and dogs to protect people from the virus....

Re: Russian Medical Development: News
Russia starts developing another vaccine against coronavirus - Minister of Health
Preliminary results may appear in the near future
10.4.2021
ST. PETERSBURG, April 10. /TASS/. Specialists from Smorodintsev Research Institute of Influenza under the Russian Ministry of Health is developing another vaccine against a coronavirus, preliminary results may appear in the near future, Russian Minister of Health Mikhail Murashko announced on Saturday.
"The institution has a high scientific potential, there are both scientific, as well as production and research sites engaged in diagnostics. Today, another vaccine against the new coronavirus infection is being developed at this institute. We expect the first preliminary results ... in the near future," the minister said.
Director of the Research Institute Dmitry Lioznov told reporters that the vaccine for intranasal use is made on the basis of the influenza virus. "So this is a similar technology with Sputnik V, but in this case the influenza virus is used. The effect will hopefully be as good as that of our other vaccines," he said, adding "Clinical trials are planned for this fall, so the drug will be available in winter - next spring at the earliest". Lioznov also hopes that the drug will help not only protect the population of Russia, but also other countries from the virus.
Russia reported 4,632,688 coronavirus cases according to the federal operational headquarters for the fight against coronavirus, 4,258,279 people recovered, 102,649 died.
In late December 2019, Chinese officials informed the World Health Organization (WHO) about the outbreak of a previously unknown pneumonia in the city of Wuhan, in central China. Since then, cases of the novel coronavirus - named COVID-19 by the WHO - have been reported in every corner of the globe, including Russia. On March 11, 2020, the WHO declared the coronavirus outbreak a pandemic.

Sputnik V has been in development for six years. It is a variant of the MARS vaccine that the research institute was working on.
The idea that Sputnik V, with basically no side effects compared to all of the western vaccines, is rushed is simply nonsense.

Well one of the viral vectors it uses was the same one that was theorized to lower resistance to AIDS in a separate study
Anyway, why didn't Putin take it? He seemed to wait for the new one that's arriving now.

How many different vaccines do you have available in St.Pete?
We also don't know which vaccine Putin took. Do you?

They said Putins own daughter took part in the Sputnik V safety trials. This was a PR cockup for them IMO. The newer vaccine has to be more risky than Sputnik. Just say you took the Sputnik and be done with it. Even if you didn't. Putin is 68 so he wanted to wait.

Well he waited until the 2nd vaccine was just coming out, a little risky to wait all this time for a man his age - and then declined to tell anybody which one he took
Or is this another chess move from Grandmaster Putin, intended to raise the repute of both vaccines in one stroke?

Chief of state should not favour or promote one Russian vaccine over the others, I don't see how this needs to be news or a topic for discussion...

Yeah, that's why I opted for that one, I have second dose scheduled next week
If original version worked on Ebola this would work on it's limp dicked cousin no problem
And if there were a single serious side effect of Sputnik V everyone and their grandma would have bee screaming about it to high heavens from the get go

Re: Russian Medical Development: News
They also signed a deal to start the production of Sputnik V in India:
Link: https://fortune.com/2021/04/13/sputnik-v-vaccine-russia-manufacturing-india-approval/
I hope Italy and Germany start production of Sputnik V soon.
On Monday, Indian regulators approved Russia’s Sputnik V COVID-19 vaccine. Now, the state-backed Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), which is marketing the Sputnik V vaccine, has plans to make the world’s second most populous country into a major manufacturing hub.
The RDIF said in early April that it had brokered an agreement with Indian pharmaceutical firm Dr. Reddy’s to produce 100 million shots in the country within an unspecified time frame. After the approval, the RDIF said it expects to produce 850 million doses in India annually after striking deals with five Indian pharmaceutical companies to produce the shots.

Re: Russian Medical Development: News
Anyway, why didn't Putin take it? He seemed to wait for the new one that's arriving now.
He didn't ask what vaccine he was given, he said he didn't care.
We also don't know which vaccine Putin took. Do you?
When a reporter asked Putin which he had he said they would have to ask his doctor because he did not know or care.
The newer vaccine has to be more risky than Sputnik.
Why?
It will have gone through all the same procedures and tests... they just didn't have the head start that the Sputnik V had so it took longer.
If it was rushed then why would it take this long... if you are going to rush something at least get it out early.
Well he waited until the 2nd vaccine was just coming out, a little risky to wait all this time for a man his age - and then declined to tell anybody which one he took
There were three vaccines he could have taken, not including one for animals. There are two normal ones and a one off jab version too.
Or is this another chess move from Grandmaster Putin, intended to raise the repute of both vaccines in one stroke? unshaven
No single being alone can decipher the layers of logic stacked behind his every move!
I have had flu vaccine shots for about the last decade... I have never asked who made them or to show me evidence it was not going to kill me.
He wouldn't have if he simply took the first one available
He is not in a high risk group so why hurry?
India now eh. India was producing some retread of Austrazeneca vaccine for Ukraine but now that has been halted. Maybe Ukraine will still end up with Sputnik.
In the background the politicians will, but will ban Sputnik from their options for their people no matter how many it kills. At least they are consistent.
Nobody found as single problem
Indeed, they wont sing its praises, but they haven't ripped in to it like they normally would... they are not normally above telling lies, which is a bit of a surprise.
Maybe because they know at the end of the day they might need some themselves when other options prove not so desirable.

Re: Russian Medical Development: News

I think Germany already has orders for vaccines and is only interested in Sputnik V if it can arrive in quantity in the next month or two... otherwise they expect their other vaccines to arrive to fill the need.
