Read the text about Russia's vaccine, Sputnik V, and decide if the statements below are True, False, or Not stated.

The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, swept across the globe in 2020, leading to widespread illness, death, and significant socio-economic disruption. As countries struggled to develop effective vaccines, Russia was one of the first nations to present a successful candidate.

The Russian vaccine, named Sputnik V, was developed by the famous Gamaleya Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology in 2020. The development utilised the expertise available in Russia in the field of vaccine development, especially in the field of adenoviral vector technology. This technology uses a modified virus (adenovirus) to deliver genetic material from the coronavirus into human cells, triggering an immune response without causing the disease.

Subsequent studies with Sputnik V and real-world data proved its efficiency and safety, making it an important tool in the global fight against COVID-19. The success of Sputnik V demonstrated the importance of scientific innovation, collaboration, and quick governmental action in addressing global health crises.

Choose the correct option.

The name of the Russian vaccine against COVID-19 is Gamaleya Vaccine.

Scientists used adenovirus vector technology to develop the Russian vaccine against COVID-19.

The Russian vaccine against COVID-19 has proven to be effective.

The Russian vaccine against COVID-19 was financed by state and private organisations.
