Registration for COVID-19 vaccination for people over 60 has started in Moscow. Mass vaccination in the Russian capital began on December 5. Preference was given to doctors, teachers and social workers.
Two Bulgarians, a family of dentists, also obtained the first vaccine registered in Russia against the coronavirus infection “Sputnik V” at the beginning of the immunization campaign.
Diyan Ivanov and Yordanka Chaneva have lived and worked in Moscow for about 30 years. They told BNR that they were not waiting in line to get vaccinated. An entire floor of the polyclinic was reserved for vaccination.
“It was like a party, only there were no bubbles. As in the elections, there were candies, they greeted us with a smile,” they say.
After discussing the completed questionnaire with a physician, the vaccine was administered. “The injection itself was painless,” Ivanov said.
The temperature of the freezers is 29 degrees below zero. The Sputnik V vaccine is two-component.
“It was explained to us that after the antibodies from the first vaccine are not shown, the blood sample will not show them. But surface antibodies are formed, that is, the lymphocytes are already working and, consequently, if we get coronavirus between the two vaccines, we will pass it much easier, ”explains Chaneva.
Diyan Ivanov decided to do an antibody test two weeks after the second injection.
The family of dentists cite three reasons for the decision to vaccinate the two quickly, even before the detailed data on the effects of COVID-19 vaccines is clear.
“Many colleagues fell ill, fell ill en masse and became seriously ill. The second reason is our absolute faith in Russian science. The third point, we as doctors are obliged to do so,” they explained.
The Russian vaccine is based on a vector produced during Ebola in Africa. Only the information from the coronavirus peak, protein S, that was inserted into the vector was changed, Diyan Ivanov notes. “That is, the vector itself works. It is unknown how the body will react to this S protein.
If someone in Bulgaria offers you the Sputnik V vaccine, you can be sure they are joking or lying.
This vaccine cannot be transmitted by anyone, says Yordanka Chaneva.
