"In the Altai Territory, three out of 42 doctors who were the first to vaccinate against coronavirus infection have contracted the coronavirus," TASS reports.
As emphasized in the department, most likely, the sick did not have time to form immunity by the time of "meeting with the causative agent of COVID-19."
“This alone could have caused the infection of doctors,” the department noted.
They noticed that the vaccine is two-component: three weeks after the first injection, a person receives a second.
A person is considered vaccinated and protected from COVID-19 only three weeks after the second vaccination, since all this time the process of forming immunity is underway.
Earlier, the director of the Gamaleya Center, Alexander Gintsburg, noted that vaccination against coronavirus among Russians from high-risk groups, especially doctors, is already underway.
