Gunzburg explained the joint use of the nasal vaccine and Sputnik V

Experts do not yet have data on 100% protection against CORONAVIRUS after using the nasal vaccine, so it is necessary to inject Sputnik V along with it. This was stated by the HEAD of the center. Gamaleya of the Ministry of HEALTH of RUSSIA Alexander Gintsburg.

“When we find out, as a result of large statistics, that the nasal vaccine protects by 100%, then the Sputnik V injection will not be needed, and if we understand that it protects by 70-80%, then we will need to do and more, ”Gintsburg explained (quote from RIA Novosti).

The Ministry of Health allowed clinical trials of the Sputnik V vaccine against covid-19 in the form of a nasal spray in October 2021. 500 volunteers will participate in them, the studies will last until December 31, 2023.

Gunzburg said that it would be necessary to apply the spray no more than once every six months. Anyone who has also been vaccinated with a nasal vaccine will not be a distributor of the virus, said the DIRECTOR of the Center. Gamaleya.
