This, according to TASS, is stated in the response of Deputy Minister of Health Sergei Glagolev to a deputy request from the head of the State Duma Committee on Family, Women and Children, Nina Ostanina.

“Information about serious unforeseen and undesirable reactions to the Gam-covid-vac M vaccine during clinical trials was not received by Roszdravnadzor,” the letter says.

Virologist, head of the laboratory of bionanotechnology, microbiology and virology at Novosibirsk State University Sergey Netesov said that the vaccination of adolescents with Sputnik M, which is unfolding in Russia, will help protect themselves and their loved ones from infection.

The press service of the Russian Ministry of Health said that adolescents aged 12 to 17 years old are well tolerated by vaccination against coronavirus.
