Minister for Innovation and Technological Development of the Republic of Serbia, Nenad Popovic, said in his Twitter account that Serbia is the European leader in vaccination with 28% of its population fully vaccinated, which is twice the European average. The use of @sputnikvaccine, with its efficiency reaching 97.6%, contributed to that. Serbia decided on procurement of vaccine without political bias.

The Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF, Russia’s sovereign wealth fund) for its part, announces that the latest official vaccination data in Serbia confirms Sputnik V Russian coronavirus vaccine to be the safest among COVID vaccines included in country’s national portfolio.
The data confirms that Sputnik V demonstrates the highest safety profile:
- No vaccination-related serious adverse events (SAE) registered;
- No vaccination-related deaths reported;
- No cerebral vein thrombosis (CVT) cases after vaccination observed.
Sputnik V has helped Serbia to become a European leader in vaccination against COVID. To date over 1/4 of the population of Serbia has been fully vaccinated with various vaccines included in country’s portfolio (28%), twice as many as in Europe on average (14%).
A set of measures, including an active program of immunization allowed Serbia to reduce the daily average infection rate twelve times vs the peak rate in late March – early April 2021, and the current infection rate is lower than the European average.
The effective vaccination campaign had an impact on the COVID-19-related death rate — the daily average number of deaths decreased almost four times vs the peak rate in early April.

V has a number of key advantages:
- Efficacy of Sputnik V is 97.6% based on the analysis of data on the coronavirus infection rate among those in Russia vaccinated with both components of Sputnik V from December 5, 2020 to March 31, 2021;
- The Sputnik V vaccine is based on a proven and well-studied platform of human adenoviral vectors, which cause the common cold and have been around for thousands of years.
- Sputnik V uses two different vectors for the two shots in a course of vaccination, providing immunity with a longer duration than vaccines using the same delivery mechanism for both shots.
- The safety, efficacy and lack of negative long-term effects of adenoviral vaccines have been proven by more than 250 clinical studies over two decades.
- There are no strong allergies caused by Sputnik V.
- The storage temperature of Sputnik V at +2+8 C means it can be stored in a conventional refrigerator without any need to invest in additional cold-chain infrastructure.
- The price of Sputnik V is less than $10 per shot, making it affordable around the world.
