Is new Russian strain resistant to vaccine?

A leading therapy specialist at Moscow University, Nino Gogichaishvili, says that a new coronavirus variant identified in Russia is not resistant to the existing vaccines, with them being equally effective against the new strain as against other variants.  

Doctors say that the Russian variant is 15 times more contagious than its predecessors, and it can be confirmed in a day after a patient shows symptoms.  

In Gogichaishvili's words, the new variant, which supposedly has infected 10% of the total COVID patients, is similar to former coronavirus variants, but young people contract it more easily. Plus, the new strain is harder to detect with time.
