A preliminary Russian-Italian laboratory study found that people vaccinated with Sputnik V exhibited higher levels of Omicron-neutralising antibodies compared to those who received Pfizer shots.
The study, involving 51 Sputnik V and 17 Pfizer recipients, detected Omicron-specific neutralizing antibodies in 74.2% of Sputnik V recipients versus 56.9% of Pfizer/BioNtech recipients.
Researchers concluded that the necessity of a third booster vaccination is evident, with previous findings also suggesting Sputnik Light as an effective booster against Omicron.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
