Moscow, Sep 6 (Prensa Latina) The Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) reported on Monday that the country's Sputnik Light vaccine against Covid-19 was approved for emergency use by the Ministry of Health of Armenia.

The vaccine is the first component of the Sputnik V drug, the first vaccine registered in the Eurasian nation to fight the Covid-19 pandemic.

According to the RDIF, immunization with the Russian vaccine will curb contagions in Armenia and accelerate the creation of population immunity in the country, where the use of Sputnik V was approved in February.

The RDIF assured that Sputnik Light shows high safety and efficacy rates in different countries. The example is the province of Buenos Aires, in Argentina, where efficacy in older people has reached 78.6 to 83.7 percent, while in Paraguay it was 93.5 percent.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
