the Sputnik Light vaccine. He spoke about this at a meeting with Denis Logunov, deputy director of the Gamaleya Center for Epidemiology and Microbiology, reports TASS.
Today, on your recommendation and the recommendation of your colleagues, I made myself another vaccine – Sputnik Light. This is called revaccination
Vladimir PutinPresident of Russia
The head of state said that after the re-vaccination he felt well. “As for the painlessness, they did it to me two hours ago, I don't feel anything. Normal condition, everything is fine, “Putin said.
As Logunov explained, Putin was injected with “Sputnik Light” – in fact, the first component of the drug. This is due to the fact that in the framework of scientific research, experts have determined that in more than 80 percent of cases with booster immunization, only one injection is sufficient. “That is, it is almost never necessary to introduce the second component as well,” the deputy director of the center said.
According to Logunov, there are cases when there is immunosuppression, diseases associated with a decrease in immunity. In this case, during vaccination, you must enter the full course of “Sputnik V”.
