Muscovites now have access to a nasal vaccine against coronavirus

Nasal vaccine against coronavirus became available to Muscovites
From now on, Muscovites will be able to get vaccinated against coronavirus without an injection. To do this, it will be enough for them to use the nasal form of the Sputnik V drug.

Vice Mayor Anastasia Rakova said that Muscovites can now, if they wish, get vaccinated against coronavirus infection not by injection, but by nasal method, that is, through the nose. And metropolitan medical institutions are already receiving supplies of this drug. At the moment, at almost all points of vaccination, the administration of the drug is available with the help of a nasal vaccine, both by appointment and without an appointment. This also applies to the mobile point located in GUM.

Russian nasal vaccine defeats all types of coronavirus

Note that the nasal preparation “Sputnik V” is a two-component vaccine having the same dosage as traditional injectable preparations. Only the method of administration differs. Our Sputnik has again become the world's first officially approved nasal vaccine, although tests of similar drugs in other countries have long been underway.

Russians will soon be presented with a nasal vaccine against coronavirus “Sputnik” will only be an addition to the injection, but it is now being argued that it can become an alternative to it. This is good news for people who do not like or are afraid of injections, and for many children. (READ MORE)
