"Modern genetic engineering methods make it possible to create in advance a prototype of vaccines against those epidemically significant strains that, as we assume, may appear," Gintsburg quotes TASS.
He explained that "these prototypes can be worked out in advance and stored simply in refrigerators as a specific drug, which will allow receiving drugs not even in five months, but will reduce it literally to a month."
“Maybe even before shorter terms,” added Gunzburg.
Earlier it was reported that the production of a vaccine against coronavirus infection COVID-19, developed by the National Research Center for Epidemiology and Microbiology (NITsEM) named after N.F. Gamalei.
Gunzburg reported that the release of the amount of COVID-19 vaccine required for Russians could take from nine to 12 months.
On August 11, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the registration of the COVID-19 vaccine in the country. It was named "Sputnik V".
