“Limitations may apply to small groups with primary immunodeficiencies.

At the same time, autoimmune, rheumatological and even oncological diseases will not be a contraindication.

First of all, we, of course, are guided by the instructions of the Ministry of Health after the third phase of vaccine research, ”he said.

It was named Sputnik V.

The drug is a solution for intramuscular administration and is reported to allow the formation of immunity for up to two years.

But with a global approach (to combat it. -

It's good that there were already technologies for developing vaccines, funding came in, and companies sent their best specialists to this.

So I am optimistic: all this will not last forever, ”he said on the air of Fox News.
