The Sputnik V Covid 19 vaccine is a two shot vaccine with a gap of 21 days between the two doses while the Johnson and Johnson vaccine only requires one shot/injection. That's why so many countries want to get the Johnson and Johnson vaccine, because while it is substantially less effective than other vaccines, you can potentially vaccinate twice the amount of people in the same time frame
Also the 66% efficacy rate at avoiding all symptoms is a lot less important than its efficacy in saving peoples' lives, which drops mortality rates comparably to Pfizer and Moderna's.
