Anna Popova, head of Russia’s Consumer Protection Authority, recently said that those vaccinated with Russia’s new Sputnik V coronavirus vaccine would have to stop drinking alcohol 14 days before the first vaccination and at least 42 days after the first injection. In total, at least 56 days, writes the BBC.

“At least two weeks before vaccination, it is absolutely necessary to stop consuming (alcohol). The development of immunity is 21 days between injections and another 21 days after injection,” Popova told Komsomolskaya Pravda radio.

The head of the fight against the pandemic in Russia also recommended to quit smoking because the smoke severely irritates the lungs and adversely affects the immune system or the state of the body in a substantial way.

I already started the vaccination

The fact that Russia’s Sputnik V vaccine and alcohol are incompatible was first announced by Deputy Prime Minister Tatiana Golikova, but she only hinted at 42 days and used less strict wording: “limit alcohol consumption” instead of ” stop”.

Golikova, head of the coronavir operational headquarters, announced at the end of last week, when Moscow authorities announced a mass vaccination of people at risk: doctors, teachers and social workers. Putin also ordered the start of vaccination this week in other regions as well.

However, Medusa has already been able to find out that not only doctors or teachers get vaccinated in Moscow, but “everyone wants to. Detailed instructions on how to get vaccinated are already floating around Telegram channels.

In Lithuania, not only the number of deaths from Covid-19, but also the number of so-called “excess deaths” is growing rapidly, according to the latest statistics. In November, according to preliminary data, the number of deaths in Lithuania increased by more than 30% compared to 2018-2019.
