“I have a hope that the vaccine will not work for a year or two, but for life.

I injected myself twice, well, live there - 5-10 years, longer.

As I say, I will leave my antibodies in my will to my descendants, ”Interfax quotes him.

Gunzburg spoke about plans within the study to re-vaccinate patients whose antibody levels dropped.

“But not to protect them from coronavirus, but primarily to see how quickly they develop an antibody response.

If their antibody response is restored to a protective one on the second or third or fourth day, it means that they have formed memory cells.

This means that their immune response has survived after the initial vaccination, ”he explained.

According to Gunzburg, such studies will be carried out within a year or a year and a half.

In December, Gunzburg said that 92% of those vaccinated with Sputnik V receive absolute protection from the coronavirus.

In this case, the peak of the body's immune response after vaccination with "Sputnik V" falls on the 42nd day.
