On May 2, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova told why citizens who have been vaccinated against COVID-19 need to take coronavirus tests upon returning from abroad.
“Vaccine, PCR testing, correlation with the presence of antibodies in those who have been ill – now we are looking at this entire arsenal in order to somehow simplify our documents for citizens. But for now, do not neglect PCR testing. So far, we have not accumulated such a volume of information so that we can clearly say that if you were vaccinated, you are absolutely not dangerous to anyone, “she explained on the air of the Russia 1 TV channel.
It also became known that about 9 million Russians received both doses of the coronavirus vaccine, 13 million citizens were vaccinated with the first component of the drug.
At the end of April, the head of Rospotrebnadzor, Anna Popova, announced that immunity to COVID-19 after vaccination lasts for 10-12 months and protects against all strains of coronavirus. According to the head of the department, vaccination allows you to develop a stable immunity.
A large-scale vaccination against COVID-19 has been taking place in Russia since January 18. The vaccination is given free of charge to everyone. At the moment, there are three drugs in the country that allow you to get vaccinated against coronavirus infection: Sputnik V, EpiVacCorona and KoviVak.
