Sputnik Light (Russian: Спутник Лайт, romanizedSputnik Layt or Lajt[1]) is a single dose COVID-19 vaccine developed by the Gamaleya Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology.[2] It consists of the first dose of the Sputnik V vaccine, which is based on the Ad26 vector, and it can be stored at a normal refrigerator temperature of 2–8 °C (36–46 °F).[3] The institute says this version would be ideally suited for areas with acute outbreaks, allowing more people to be vaccinated quickly.[4] It will also be used as a third (booster) dose for those who received Sputnik V at least 6 months earlier.[5]
