Rinat Maksyutov, Director General of the State Scientific Center for Virology and Biotechnology “Vector”, listed the limitations of the coronavirus vaccine. He stated this during the Science Bar Hopping online festival, reports TASS.
The head of “Vector” reminded that no drug is capable of providing 100% protection against any disease, since its primary task is to reduce the risk of developing a severe course of the disease and death. Therefore, even after vaccination, a citizen will have to wear masks and gloves, added Maksyutov.
In addition, a sufficient level of immunity to the virus is formed only on the 42nd day after the introduction of the first dose of the drug, but this protection will not be absolute. “This is a reduced risk, but there is no guarantee that the course of the disease in a particular case of a vaccinated individual can lead to an unfavorable outcome,” he explained.
Earlier, Maksyutov called the end of the coronavirus pandemic. According to him, the large-scale spread of the virus will stop in 2021. By this time, sufficient collective immunity will be formed, and for this it is necessary to vaccinate about half of the population.
In Russia, more than 26 thousand new cases of coronavirus were detected per day. Since the beginning of the pandemic, 2,269,316 cases of coronavirus have been registered in the country. Over the entire period of the spread of the infection in Russia, 39,527 deaths were detected, 1,761,457 people recovered.
