The creator of the vaccine named the year of the end of the pandemic

To decrease the spread of infection, herd immunity is needed, which can be formed in two ways.

The coronavirus pandemic will end in 2021, but the virus itself will remain, the head of the Russian scientific center Vector Rinat Maksyutov said as part of the Science Bar Hopping online festival on November 29, writes RBC.

The spread of the infection will decrease only when a significant number of the world’s population becomes ill or herd immunity is formed thanks to mass vaccination, said the director of the center, which has developed one of the two Russian vaccines against COVID-19.

In Russia, for this, it is desirable that at least half of the population receive the vaccine against coronavirus infection, he said.

It was previously reported that the UK will register a coronavirus vaccine in the coming days and start vaccination on December 7.

The media also learned that United Airlines has started shipping Pfizer’s coronavirus vaccine to warehouses in the US and Europe.
