Alexander Ginzburg, CEO of the Gamalei Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology of the Ministry of Health of Russia, told RIA Novosti that there is a possibility of two years of protection against coronavirus during Sputnik V vaccination. Thus, a study on the timing of maintaining cellular immunity to coronavirus after a vaccine will help save state funds.
“We need to study the lifespan of memory cells, make an official study. Due to it information can be entered into the registration certificate. This should save a huge amount of state money, “the director of the center said.
He also clarified that with the proof of two to three years of Sputnik V protection, and foreign vaccines for a much shorter period – the quality of the Russian vaccine will be incommensurable in terms of the quality of foreign analogues.
