“For small and medium-sized businesses, vaccination will definitely be beneficial.
Now, many clients, out of a sense of security, are cutting back on visits to public places, including beauty salons, ”she said.
According to her, vaccination will reduce the risks of the disease, which will lead to an increase in the flow of clients, thanks to this, the economic situation will improve, and the psychological situation will return to normal.
At the same time, she believes that an entrepreneur should not be responsible for the personal health of his employees - neither moral nor material, and cannot fire an employee if he does not have a vaccination.
She also said that APIC conducted a survey of entrepreneurs.
"Based on the results of this survey, the following was found: 15% were vaccinated, 24% have antibodies after suffering COVID-19, 22% plan to be vaccinated with the Russian vaccine in the near future, 9% are waiting for an imported vaccine, 30% are against vaccination," she said.
She believes that it is necessary to improve the awareness of citizens, since "many are afraid of the consequences."
“Professors, academics, doctors, let them carry out explanatory work that a vaccine is an opportunity to avoid a severe form of the disease and develop immunity, thereby protecting yourself and your loved ones,” she said.
