not vaccinated and not sick (among which there may be asymptomatic recovered).

It is reported that "donors who underwent COVID-19 and then vaccinated with Sputnik V (group 1), the number of antibodies against coronavirus was the highest."

Anna Mikhailovna Timofeeva, Candidate of Biological Sciences, Junior Researcher of the Reparation Enzymes Laboratory of the Institute of Chemical Biology and Fundamental Medicine of the SB RAS, “this may be due to the fact that after a disease the human body is already familiar with viral proteins and the immune system gives a more powerful response.
