One of the ways to vaccinate against COVID-19 is to administer a two-component drug. These include, for example, Sputnik V. In total, the Ministry of Health recommends six drugs for primary immunization. With revaccination, a booster may be introduced. In the case of Sputnik, this is its one-component version of Sputnik Light.
