Putin ordered the start of mass vaccination, and here the most interesting thing became clear. The Sputnik V vaccine consists of two doses: one is based on adenovirus serotype 26, and the second is based on adenovirus serotype 5. It turned out that vaccine manufacturers can make as many first doses as they want, but cannot produce second ones . It turns out that mass vaccination can be started, but it won’t be finished yet.
In Moscow, however, registration for vaccination has begun. We tell you how to be among the first vaccinated . First you need to be an employee of a medical, educational or social institution. Moreover, at any level, everyone who works there is going to be vaccinated.
We tell you what we know about superspreaders - those who infect more people than ordinary patients. In general, not much: presumably, their nasal septum is positioned slightly differently, and allergy sufferers also fall into this category. But in fact, almost anyone can become a superspreader - just spend more time in a confined space.
We sorted out the superspreaders, but we almost forgot to say that we have a super application. It’s a hundred times more convenient to read “Medusa” there than just like that. Install !
