"In principle, any of the vaccines (not only against coronavirus - against influenza and any infection) does not have a single tool that could affect the DNA of our or our offspring," said Doctor of Medical Sciences Anton Ershov.
He also believes that no other means of preventing coronavirus infection, besides a vaccine, will be invented in the coming decades.
“An adequate immune response after vaccine administration is developed on the 35-42 day.
If a person encounters a coronavirus between the first and second doses, then in this situation he can get sick and be a source of infection, "said Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences Alexander Gorelov, Deputy Director for Research at the Central Research Institute of Epidemiology of Rospotrebnadzor.
As noted by Doctor of Medical Sciences Anton Ershov, after the production of antibodies, a person can no longer be a carrier of the virus.
Molecular biologist Maxim Skulachev, leading researcher at Moscow State University named after M.V.
Lomonosov, answered the question whether it is necessary to vaccinate those who have strong immunity.
“The severe form of COVID-19 develops as an immune response.
People who died from COVID-19 were killed by their own immunity, ”Skulachev noted, advising people who have not yet had a coronavirus infection to get vaccinated.
In turn, commenting on the myth that foreign vaccines are better than domestic ones, Ershov said that foreign experts recognize the full comparability of all vaccines currently available on the world market.
