On November 12, RT radio reported that the first three doctors with Covid-19 were in the Altai region, near the border with Kazakhstan, a day ago.
According to the leading expert in infectious diseases in the region, despite being vaccinated, they are infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which is due to a lack of immunity.
After the Covid-19 vaccine was administered, it took some time to develop antibodies against the virus, the scientists said.
With the Sputnik V vaccine, adequate immunity is not formed until the patient receives a booster injection, 21 days after the first injection.

The fourth doctor with Covid-19 was from the Kemerovo region. The deputy director of the regional health department said the doctor tested positive about 5-6 days after receiving the first injection of the vaccine.
In response to the local news site amic.ru about the cases of the first three doctors, Irina Pereladova, head of the Altai Epidemiology Department, pointed to another cause.
According to her, 42 immunized Altai healthcare workers tested negative for Covid-19 a day before receiving the vaccine. Therefore, all 3 may have been infected with the virus between the time the test was negative and the vaccine was received.
On 11-11, vaccine developers Sputnik V announced that their vaccine was 92% effective and did not cause serious side effects. The statistics come after observing 16,000 volunteers.
On August 11 of this year, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that his country had registered the world’s first Covid-19 vaccine, developed by the Gamaleya Institute.
The vaccine has been criticized by some Western countries for saying that its rapid development leads to unsafe and inadequate testing.
Sputnik V is going through 3 experimental phases with the participation of 40,000 volunteers.
