“We already know that a consensus has been reached, now they say that it is not necessary to vaccinate immediately after the disease, in 6-9 months,” RIA Novosti quotes a specialist.

In addition, he said that antibodies in severely ill patients may be produced weakly due to the prescription of certain drugs.

“Now we sometimes observe that a person is seriously ill, and his antibodies are not very high, this is usually associated with treatment.

The first time we encountered this was during the observation of patients after the swine flu, ”said Malyshev.

As the doctor explained, those who receive antiviral drugs may develop significantly less protection.

Earlier, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova said that it is not yet recommended to vaccinate those who have been ill with COVID-19, since immunity remains and can provide protection to the body. 

As noted in Rospotrebnadzor, those who have recovered should be vaccinated against COVID-19 no earlier than autumn 2021.

On January 23, State Duma deputy, Candidate of Medical Sciences Gennady Onishchenko, in an interview with Newinform, gave recommendations on vaccination against COVID-19.
