An infection can still enter the body of a vaccinated person and spread to other people for some time. This opinion was expressed in an interview with URA.RU by the head of the laboratory of biotechnology and virology at the Faculty of Natural Sciences of Novosibirsk State University, molecular biologist, doctor of biological sciences, professor, corresponding member of the Academy Russian science Sergei Netesov.

“For example, you are vaccinated against a certain disease and you meet a person who has this disease. Once vaccinated, you are not sick, but that doesn’t mean the virus hasn’t entered your body. It has the same right to enter your body as it does an unvaccinated person. Another thing is that your body is fighting with it so that most of the time you don’t even notice it, but the fact that you are infected for a short time may be, “Netesov explained to URA.RU.

However, in a vaccinated person, infectivity will be very low. “The dose of the virus in a vaccinated person will be very small, as they will hardly be able to reproduce, and if they excrete it, then in small quantities and for a very short time. But as for the current coronavirus, this has not yet been verified, as the candidate vaccines are still being tested, “concluded the scientist.

Previously, the World Health Organization (WHO) said it would release several oral vaccines against the coronavirus in the form of a nasal spray, Nation News reports. Currently, only injectable vaccines have been developed worldwide. At the same time, Russian vaccines will be included in the country on the list of vital drugs, RT reports from the words of Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.
