“Routine vaccinations should be postponed due to the high risk of infection (coronavirus. - RT ) when visiting a clinic and developing complications after administering the vaccine against the background of an emerging infectious disease,” the message on the stopcoronavirus.ru website says.

They also recalled the lack of reliable data on the prophylactic effect of the influenza or anti-pneumococcal vaccine against coronavirus infection.

In addition, they added to the Rospotrebnadzor, flu should be vaccinated no earlier than August-September.

Nevertheless, vaccination against encephalitis in regions with a high prevalence of this disease and a small number of people infected with coronavirus can be an exception.

Earlier, the Ministry of Health suspended the planned vaccination due to the coronavirus as part of the national preventive vaccination calendar, with the exception of vaccination of newborns in maternity hospitals.
