According to him, the required interval for this procedure is six months, RIA Novosti reports.

“In the methodological recommendations of the Ministry of Health on vaccination, it is said that every six months in a difficult epidemiological situation, it is necessary to revaccinate.

I fully support this, revaccinating with Sputnik Light, from my point of view, in a situation where a new strain appears, it is really necessary once every six months, ”said Gunzburg.

According to him, for any antigen six months later, the antibody rate decreases, if you do not regularly encounter a foreign antigen.

The situation in the regions

More than 80 thousand doses of Sputnik Light were delivered to the Sverdlovsk Region.

This was stated by the governor Yevgeny Kuyvashev.

According to him, the regional authorities had previously addressed this issue to the federal Ministry of Health.

“15-20 thousand people come for vaccination a day.

At the same time, people go for the second, and some for the third time.

A one-component preparation is more convenient here, ”he pointed out in his Instagram.

As of today, 11 criminal cases have been initiated in our country, I hope that we will not allow us to have massive use of such certificates.

The main thing here is explanatory work so that people understand that the vaccine is needed not for a tick, not for a piece of paper and a QR code, but to protect health, ”the head of the republic quotes TASS.
