No, Sputnik V is a Vector vaccine just like AstraZeneca and Johnson&Johnson. There are several ones in development in China which all seem to be based on more "old school" technologies.
In terms of development they seem to be pretty far behind. As far as I know, none of the Russian or Chinese efforts have published serious data about safety and efficacy yet. According to publically available data, the vast majority of vaccinations done so far used European/American mRNA vaccines [1].

- riffraff 6y agoThanks for the clarification!
- antoniuschan99 6y agoSomeone said the j&j ones are also new tech as it’s only used in some rabies vaccines. I think the sinovac one is the traditional one in the sense that it uses the same format as the measles vaccine I took a few months back.
