According to Zhemchugov, the “Vector” vaccine is more suitable for people with chronic diseases. He explained that EpiVacCoron can be used by those who have contraindications to Sputnik V, as it is softer and safer, but it can act for a shorter period.
The vaccine of the Gamaleya Center is suitable for people of active age, if they do not have diseases, Zhemchugov pointed out. He stressed that it is better to choose the drug that the doctor advises.
