Director of the Gamaleya Center Gunzburg called for mandatory vaccination against COVID-19 
Alexander Gintsburg said that vaccination against coronavirus should be included in the national immunization schedule. The virologist made such a proposal and shared in an interview with Rossiyskaya Gazeta.
Gunzburg said that the pandemic will end when 70-75 percent of the world's population will be vaccinated against COVID-19. “For this, of course, this drug must be included in the national vaccination schedule. And vaccination should be compulsory, “he urged.
To avoid the onset of a new pandemic, children and their parents must be taught to be vaccinated in order“ to be normally perceived in society and be a full-fledged citizen of the society in which you live “. According to Gunzburg, people without a coronavirus vaccine harm not only themselves, but also their loved ones and those around them.
“It's just as bad to be unvaccinated as, for example, excuse me, spitting or anything else .. Or walk with dirty hands, “he concluded.
Earlier, Gunzburg said that a drug from antibodies would appear in Russia to treat patients with COVID-19. Clinical trials of the drug will be launched in January, they will last three to four months.
Mandatory vaccination against COVID-19 was introduced in St. Petersburg for residents over 60 years old. These citizens will have to enter the first component of the vaccine by December 15,
