“We now have an understanding that the risk of getting sick again for a person who is ill appears in six months.

Therefore, again there are clear, understandable recommendations of the Ministry of Health that it is advisable for patients who have had the disease after six months to be vaccinated, ”RIA Novosti quotes him as saying in an interview with Naila Asker-zade on the Russia 1 channel.

Protsenko called the risk of re-contracting COVID-19 in the absence of vaccination as high.

Earlier, the head physician of the Pskov Regional Infectious Diseases Hospital Anastasia Povtoreiko said that lung damage is not always an indicator of the severity of the coronavirus disease.
