A family of Bulgarian dentists received the Russian vaccine – Russia

A family of Bulgarians also received the first vaccine registered in Russia against 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 are dentists. They told BNR that they were not waiting in line to get vaccinated.

“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 the Covid-19 vaccines is clear.

“The Russian vaccine is based on a vector created during Ebola in Africa. Only the information from the coronavirus spike, the S protein that was inserted into the vector, has been changed,” Diyan Ivanov said.
