In Russia, doctors became infected with COVID-19 after vaccination

Sick doctors did not have time to build immunity when they met the causative agent of COVID-19, according to the operational headquarters.

In Russia, three of the 42 doctors who were vaccinated with Sputnik V in the Altai Territory were infected with the COVID-19 coronavirus. This was reported by Interfax with reference to the operational headquarters of the region on Wednesday, November 11.

“According to the developers, the vaccine is two-component: three weeks after the first injection, a person receives a second. A person is considered to be vaccinated and therefore protected from coronavirus infection only three weeks after the second vaccination, since during all this time the process of immunity formation is underway “. message.

It is noted that the immunity of sick doctors who have been vaccinated probably did not have time to form when they encountered the causative agent of COVID-19.

“Only this could provoke the infection of the doctors,” stressed the operational headquarters.

Recall that on August 11, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that Russia became the first country in the world to register a vaccine against the coronavirus.

Subsequently, the vaccine was criticized from various sources. For example, the United States criticized the insufficient testing of the Russian vaccine, while Germany expressed doubts about its safety.

In turn, Russia has already launched Sputnik V into civilian circulation. It will be delivered to all regions of the country.

Also, in late September, the Russian coronavirus vaccine was delivered for experiments in Belarus. The studies will be carried out in eight medical institutions in Belarus, two of which have already received the first shipments of Sputnik V.
