Vaccination from Coronavirus in Russia started more than a month ago: according to the Russian direct investment fund, at the beginning of January, more than 1.5 million citizens have already been given to the "satellite-V" (although the calculations differ depending on the source). Monday must begin mass vaccination. In addition to the above-mentioned drug from the center of the Gamaley, the Ministry of Health also issued the registration of "Epivakororor" (Epitopic Vaccine from the Novosibirsk Center "Vector" during Rospotrebnadzor), soon promise to begin to instill and it.
But the distrust of the Russians to domestic vaccines (and in principle any other) is great: for example, the Research Organization "Levada Center", recognized in Russia by an Inense, on December 21-23, conducted a survey among 1617 of our compatriots over 18 years old. He showed that the overwhelming part of the respondents is not going to vaccinate the "satellite-V". Thus, 58% responded adversely (in August, their share was 54%, and in October - 59%), in October 38% (in August - 38%, in October - 36%). Another 4% turned out to be opposed to any vaccinations.
In parallel, rumors and reasoning appeared about whether it was real in Russia to deliver a vaccine of other manufacturers. The leader in this issue can be considered the BNT162 preparation developed by the German startup Biontech. The American Farm Bigan Pfizer is engaged in distribution. This vaccine is vaccinated in the UK, the European Union, the United States, the UAE and a lot where else.
At the end of December, the owner of the Handass private clinic (a branch of the Israeli Hospital), located in the International Cluster in Skolkovo (Moscow), said in the comments for Forbes that the institution was going to bring foreign anticonavorus vaccines to Russia. "There is no information about the results of the negotiations, but the Hadassa team makes every effort to provide this opportunity to our patients," the press service said.
Yesterday, a member of the State Duma Committee on Health, Tatiana Solomatina, he said that in Hadasse, she was offered to hurt the "Fiber" vaccine (of course, no goodbye). "I know for sure that this vaccine has already many residents of the Moscow region have the opportunity to hurt in private. This is a clinic that works in Skolkovo. They work perfectly for other laws, they have a legislative base differently, in fact, this is a foreign clinic, it just works on our territory. And she may have the delivery of this vaccine, "the deputy explained, emphasizing that herself was given to the Russian vaccine.
After that, the Federal Health Supervision Service (Roszdravnadzor) decided to clarify the situation. The press service of the departments recalled that, according to the law, "import into the territory of the Russian Federation and the use of vaccines to prevent new coronavirus infection that did not undergo state registration in Russia, prohibited." The norm concerns and medorganizations in Skolkovo.
However, in the Khadass clinic, with such a strict position, did not agree, referring to the Federal Law on the International Medical Cluster. Although they noted that now they do not bite clients a foreign vaccine, and the issue of imports to Russia unregistered on its territories really "requires refinement." "According to the 160-FZ clinic, the participants of the International Medical Cluster can use drugs unregistered in Russia, but registered in OECD countries. This is one of the key advantages of the cluster. We would like to speed up his decision for the transfer of advanced technologies in medicine of Russia, "RIA Novosti and the press service of the medical institution said. According to the representative of the clinic, negotiations with Pfizer on vaccine will continue, as well as consultations with Roszdravnadzor.
What do everyone think about this in the Pfizer itself? A few days ago, the company reported that it was not planning to supply a vaccine from COVID-19 to Russia at the request of individuals or companies. About such will be negotiated only with the authorities or international organizations, but negotiations with Moscow, apparently, and do not lead (probably, for now). "We understand the urgency and the desire of many people to make vaccinations as soon as possible, we cannot provide direct access to the candidate-candidate Pfizer-Biontech COVID-19 vaccine in response to private queries," said the press service of the pharmaceutical complex.
UPD. Today, the Khadass clinic reported that negotiations with Pfizer on deliveries to Russia vaccines decided to stop: clients will offer only the "satellite-V". And the BNT162 was previously not done to anyone from their patients with injections, representatives of the institution added.
