The regions are preparing for a large-scale vaccination against coronavirus on behalf of the president. Vaccination centers in Moscow will start working this weekend; an electronic registration is now open. The procedure is free for Russians and voluntary, at first those who are at risk can go through it. We tell you what is known at the moment.
The list of priority groups were doctors and teachers, the government is evaluating the possibility of its
expansion. Earlier, the Ministry of Health also recommended vaccinating
trade and service workers, police officers, conscripts, students and schoolchildren, social security
workers, catering and other organizations whose work is associated with direct
contact with a large number of people (hotels, hairdressers, dry cleaners, banks, security companies and others ).
The decision to vaccinate the elderly may appear a few months after the results of drug studies on this
category of people are received, said Vadim Tarasov, director of the Institute of Translational
Medicine and Biotechnology of the Sechenov University of the Russian Ministry of Health.
Doctors will administer an injection of the Russian drug Sputnik V. Tests, which are still ongoing,
have shown that after vaccination, volunteers develop a sustained immune response to COVID-19. The
developers themselves claim that Sputnik V is 95% effective if the patient receives a second
injection (vaccination is carried out in two stages, the interval between them is 21 days).
Citizens aged 18 to 60 will be able to vaccinate if they do not have a high temperature (37 ° C or more).
Before the procedure, the patient should be examined by a health worker who needs to be informed
about existing chronic diseases, other vaccinations and when they had ARVI. Based on these data, a
decision on vaccination will be made. For example, it is recommended to get vaccinated against
coronavirus and flu with a break of three weeks.
Also, according to the instructions for the drug, vaccinations are contraindicated for pregnant and
lactating women in case of severe allergic reactions in history and hypersensitivity to
the vaccine.
It's impossible, scientists say.
A person can become infected with coronavirus in the period between the introduction of the first and
second doses of the vaccine, since at this time there is still no stable immunity . As a rule, it is
produced approximately on the 42nd day after the first injection, said earlier the developer of the
Sputnik V vaccine, director of the NF Gamaleya Center for Epidemiology and Microbiology of the Ministry
of Health of Russia Alexander Gintsburg.
At special points for vaccination against COVID-19. They will be opened in Moscow on December 5.
It is necessary to register for the procedure, while the electronic registration is available for the capital's
education workers, healthcare workers of all forms of ownership, as well as for employees of the city's
social services. You will need to confirm the fact of work in the relevant organization, as well as present
a passport and an OMS policy.
It takes 10 minutes for a preliminary examination by a doctor, about 15 minutes for preparing the drug
(the vaccine is stored frozen), another 30 minutes for observation after vaccination.
Some participants in the Sputnik V clinical trials reported fever up to 38 degrees, redness at the injection
site, headache and muscle discomfort. As a rule, all this takes place within a day.
