“We believe that the vaccine created by the scientists of the State Research Center“ Vector ”of Rospotrebnadzor is best suited for older people, people with chronic diseases,” Popova said.
She explained that "this is a synthetic vaccine, there is no natural live protein in it, there are no fragments of the virus, that is, chicken protein has nothing to do with it."
The head of Rospotrebnadzor said that this vaccine "uses an artificially synthesized carrier protein, and three peptides are attached to it - these are also genetically engineered copies of virus particles that cause an immune response in humans."
Moreover, according to Popova, "they are absolutely stable and unchanged, this ensures the absence of reactogenicity of the vaccine."
“It does not cause any allergic reactions,” she said.
Popova added that "this has been verified at all stages of preclinical testing on animals, and then during the final phase of research with the participation of volunteers."
Earlier, Popova said that she had antibodies to COVID-19 after the introduction of a vaccine developed by the Vector Center.
Infectious disease specialist, virologist, Doctor of Medical Sciences Nikolai Malyshev, in an interview with the NSN, assessed the situation with COVID-19.
