A vaccine against COVID-19 has already appeared in Russia. Find out who can and who cannot be vaccinated against coronavirus, we give a list of diseases, contraindications.

How does the coronavirus vaccine work?

The coronavirus shot works in the same way as the flu shot. A pathogen is injected under the skin and causes a mild infection. This is done in order for the body to start producing antibodies.

Due to the fact that the pathogen is weak, almost any organism can cope with it. After vaccination, characteristic cold symptoms may appear:

• slight cough;
• nasal congestion;
• swelling;
• low temperature;
• lethargy and fatigue;
• loss of appetite;
• reduced performance.

But these symptoms should go away within three to four days after vaccination, otherwise, you should immediately consult a doctor.

Is it worth getting vaccinated against coronavirus and how safe is it

Even after getting a flu shot, patients sometimes get sick. This happens more often in children. High fever may rise after vaccination. In order not to fall into the risk group of those who cannot be vaccinated against coronavirus, you need to know all your diseases and, in general, assess your health.

For some severe chronic diseases, vaccination against COVID-19 is contraindicated.

In addition, the safety of the vaccine is not fully understood. In the first trials, about 145 unpleasant side effects were identified in 30 patients.

Although the authorities say the vaccine is completely safe, clinical studies show that not everything is so optimistic. The chief virologist of Russia said that antibodies from it can not only not protect the body, but provoke the disease and make it more severe.

Does the coronavirus vaccine help

Academician Zverev said in an interview: "It's too early to talk about efficiency." The vaccine has not been tested as such. The fact is that it takes at least six months to test a vaccine.

Due to the fact that the vaccine has not been fully researched, its consequences are unknown, it is not clear how it will behave in six months or a year. Virologists of Russia explain that if you rush to immunize the population, then after a while side effects may appear.

It is also worth considering that even if the vaccine really works, it is not yet known how much it will be in the body and protect it from infection with the terrible virus.

When and who will be vaccinated against coronavirus

Vaccinations, according to preliminary data, are going to start doing in October 2020. At the moment, the drug has already been distributed to large cities, but in small quantities.

Doctors working directly with patients will be the first to be vaccinated without fail. Then doctors and teachers will be vaccinated. You need to be careful, study the list of those who cannot be vaccinated against coronavirus.

When the vaccination of the main part of the population is expected to begin, it is not yet known.

Is it possible to get vaccinated against coronavirus during pregnancy

Many drugs and vaccinations are contraindicated in pregnant women. Due to the fact that during this period strong hormonal changes occur in a woman's body, it is not known how this or that substance will work. In order not to accidentally harm the unborn baby and mother, they will not be vaccinated against the coronavirus.

Coronavirus vaccination for the elderly and children

Due to the fact that people in these groups have weaker immune systems, they will only be given the vaccine when fully investigated. Therefore, children and the elderly need to wear masks longer than others.

Despite the fact that, according to statistics, the infant mortality rate from coronavirus is quite low, the child's body weakens greatly after the illness, the immune system becomes even more unstable.

Contraindications

We will list who cannot be vaccinated against coronavirus. In addition to pregnant women, children and the elderly, patients with severe chronic diseases of the immune system are at risk.

These include:

• HIV infection;
• all autoimmune diseases;
• mastocytosis;
• Erdheim-Chester disease;
• deficiency of immunoglobulin;
• Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome;
• cytokine release syndrome;
• systemic inflammatory response syndrome;
• mast cell activation syndrome;
• severe combined immunodeficiency;
• cytokine storm.

If there is at least one disease from the list, you cannot be vaccinated against coronavirus. Antibodies will not protect the body, but will provoke a severe form of COVID-19.

Outcome

The effectiveness of the coronavirus vaccine has not been established, and the negative consequences and contraindications are quite extensive. They must be taken into account when deciding on immunization. Carriers of this virus cannot be vaccinated against COVID-19, because vaccination is not a cure. The procedure takes place in two stages - on the day of treatment and after 21 days.
