The director of the Gamalia Research Center for Epidemiology and Microbiology, Alexander Gentsburg, said that the third stage, or post-registration phase, to study the Corona vaccine, which was developed by the center, may start within seven to 10 days.
According to the Russian "TASS" agency, tens of thousands of people are expected to participate in this study.
"We will present (today) the first version of the protocol for post-registration studies, and given the great interest of the public and the press in this matter, I think that the Ministry of Health will not delay and will approve the protocol for us within a week, so I think that "In seven or 10 days maximum, everything will begin."
According to Russia Today, studies and tests will be conducted in the Moscow region.
"Tens of thousands of people will participate, and given that the process is costly financially, the financial aspect will be taken into consideration. The Moscow region has all the necessary infrastructure to conduct not only vaccination, but also monitoring and follow-up," Gentsburg said.
Earlier, the Federal Authority for the Protection of Consumer Rights and Citizen Welfare, "Ros Potribnadzor", said that after registering the drug, 2,000 people will participate in clinical trials.
Gentsburg: The operation is costly.
