8.22 in the morning of January 15. Moscow. Polyclinic No. 115.
I should have put the second injection “Sputnik V” at the end of last year. After the first vaccination , December 6, the doctor said that they would call me and call me. But either they did not call, or did not get through. And then I went to the Kirov region, the document did not reach the mass vaccination at that time.
And now on January 14, when almost six had passed instead of three weeks from the first vaccination, I decided: at all costs, you need to figure it out with an injection.
As a result, he made a radical decision - to go to the clinic and make a Just Now vaccine.
- Go up to the vaccination section. They will say whether it can be stabbed or no longer, ”says the nurse on duty.
The first thing I am amazed to go to the section is the number of patients. When they put the first injection to me, there were simply no others who wanted to get involved. Now in line to offices is twelve people.
Half of them are pensioners. On December 29, the Moscow authorities promised them that after vaccination they would unlock social maps that give the right to travel free.
Three more patients - men of 35–40 years old, two middle -aged women and one very young guy.
- Was you to put you on December 27? I’ll clarify what to do now, ”the paramedic on duty in the corridor takes my vaccination certificate, returns somewhere and returns after three minutes:“ Now I will drive it. ”
Apparently, there is really nothing wrong with the introduction of the second component of the vaccine with delay: immunologists say that three weeks are the minimum necessary period. You can put the vaccine in both a month and after a half.
Without line, they lead me to the office of the "inspection before vaccination." The therapist is interested in whether there were side effects after the first vaccination.
- The temperature is 37–37.2 degrees, weakness, headache, - I say.
- Fine. Go to the injection.
The inspection is completed on this.
I am also invited to vaccinated without a queue - as the only patient who came to put the second component of the "satellite". Defrost the ampoule.
“You can wait until someone else comes [to the second component],” I tell the paramedic, remembering that the ampoule is designed for five patients. - So that it does not disappear.
“They have already begun to defrost,” he replies.
- And we often, if there are no queues, throw the ampoule after the first patient: it is not known exactly how much it can stand open. It is better to open a new one than injecting the next one who has come.
The second injection of the Sputnik V itself, like the first, takes less than five seconds. And he is just as painless.
I am asked to sit in the corridor with other patients for half an hour.

- Was it bad after the first injection? - asks me a pensioner in a beige sweater.
I describe the symptoms, summarizing: "Unpleasant, but tolerant."
“I'm very afraid,” she says. - But in the spring they gathered with their grandchildren in Adler. And in the south of any infection is full. There was not enough coronavirus to pick up.
Yura, a lean man in completely black clothes, came to vaccination for career reasons.
- In our office, two -thirds of the employees were ill. And for the whole year I have never even coughed. I put the vaccination purely according to the principle of "God protects the banned."
“Last year he worked for himself and for sick colleagues. As a result, increased. I would like to continue. "
- Is it not scary that the vaccine has not yet passed the third phase of testing? It seems like risks are unknown.
- I went to the local therapist. He said that there are no risks for me.
Compared to the first injection of side effects from the second, I practically did not have a small chills in the evening and pain at the injection site. The next morning everything went. Of course, this is an individual reaction: I have acquaintances who, after the second dose of the vaccine, went down with temperature, and there are those who did not even hurt the shoulder.
After three weeks I go to check for antibodies. After the first injection, the IgG indicator was very high - 400. If it remains at a high level, you can go to take plasma. Make your contribution to the fight against Covid.
