The specialist urged Russians to revaccinate in order to increase the level of antibodies.
According to Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, virologist Pyotr Chumakov in an interview with URA.RU, vaccination against COVID-19 reduces the risk of death from infection by about 80%. This is evidenced by evaluations of the effectiveness of the drug "Sputnik V" against fatal cases of the disease.
According to the specialist, the likelihood of death from coronavirus is increased in patients suffering from chronic diseases, and vaccination can significantly reduce this risk.
Chumakov urges Russians to make a booster dose of covid vaccine, which will increase the number of antibodies.
