People vaccinated against CORONAVIRUS in case of illness emit less infectious material, which means that the risk of getting infected from them is much less. Tatyana Ruzhentsova, deputy DIRECTOR for clinical work of the Moscow Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology of Rospotrebnadzor, told RIA Novosti about this.

The epidemiologist also noted that the time for isolating material that can infect other people is also being reduced.

At the end of October, the director of the Center. Gamaleya, who developed the Sputnik V coronavirus vaccine, Alexander Gintsburg, said that those vaccinated against the coronavirus can become infected, but this is due to the characteristics of the delta strain of the infection. “The delta strain has changed the way it interacts with cells and exists inside cells. The virus has time to enter the cells against the background of a low level of antibodies, ”he explained, calling for revaccination every six months to maintain a high level of antibodies in the body.

At the end of June, President Vladimir Putin announced that only about 10% of those vaccinated fell ill, and the disease in them was milder than in the unvaccinated. “Just a week ago, one of my colleagues fell ill, they told me yesterday that everyone was already at work,” he added.
