Vaccine will be registered in Russia on August 12, vaccination will start in October

Russia has made a big claim about the corona vaccine that everyone in the world is waiting for. Russia's Health Minister Mikhail Murashko has said the vaccine has been successful in trials and vaccination will begin in the country from October. Meanwhile, Russia's Deputy Health Minister Oleg Gridnev said that Russia will register the world's first corona virus vaccine on 12 August.

This vaccine has been prepared jointly by Gamalaya Research Institute and Russian Defense Ministry. "The development vaccine at Gamalaya Center will be registered on August 12," said Gridnev. Currently the third and final phase is undergoing trials. Trials are extremely important. We have to understand that the vaccine should be completely safe. Medical personnel and senior citizens will be the first to be vaccinated. ''

Trial for this vaccine began on 18 June, in which 38 people were vaccinated. Immunity was developed among all the people. The first group was discharged on 15 July and the second group on 20 July. Russia claims that it is going to be the first country to approve the covid-19 vaccine where mass vaccination will be done in early October with the help of vaccines that have not yet completed clinical trials. Scientists around the world are worried that this race to come first will not prove to be the opposite.

Moscow is looking to achieve a publicized victory like Sputnik (Earth's first artificial satellite) that reminds of the Soviet Union's launch of the world's first satellite in 1957. But the first human trials of experimental covid-19 vaccines on some people began about two months ago and no scientific evidence has so far been published to support Russia's claim in the global vaccine-making process. It is not yet clear why he would be considered at the forefront of this endeavor.

Lawrence Gostin, a global public health law specialist at Georgetown University, said, "I am worried that Russia is too hasty so that the vaccine will not only be ineffective but also unsafe." Does ... First of all there should be tests. He is the most important. ''

According to Kirill Dimitryev, head of Russia's Direct Investment Fund, who sponsored the effort, the vaccine developed by the Gamalaya Research Institute will be approved in a few days and before scientists complete the Phase III study. Last-stage studies are the only way to prove that an experimental vaccine is safe and effective. Testing is done on millions of people in this phase.

Health Minister Mikhail Murashko said members of 'risk groups', such as medical professionals, could be vaccinated this month. He did not clarify whether he would be part of the Phase III study that would have to be completed after the vaccine received "conditional approval".

Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova promised to start 'industrial production' in September and Murashko has said that mass-level vaccination will begin in October. This quick approach was questioned last week by America's top infectious disease specialist, Dr. Anthony Fauchi.

BCG vaccine does not increase the risk of coronavirus

Scientists have drawn comparisons between volunteers who were vaccinated against BCG and those who had not been vaccinated. Scientists found that people vaccinated with BCG during the covid-19 pandemic did not fall ill or become more seriously ill. The BCG vaccine was given in the last five years. Their immune system was compared to healthy volunteers who were not vaccinated.

The BCG vaccine was originally intended to treat tuberculosis (TB), according to scientists involved in the study, including Radboud University in Nirdland, but later proved effective in long-term strengthening of the immune system. However he also warned that there are limitations to this study that prevent the conclusion of the benefits of the BCG vaccine against covid-19.

ICMR will study the effect of BCG vaccine

Earlier, the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) announced that it would study whether the BCG vaccine used against TB could prevent coronavirus infection. Also, can it reduce disease severity and mortality in elderly people living in areas of epidemic hotspots. An ICMR scientist said the study would be carried out in Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Delhi on some 1,500 healthy volunteers over the age of 60.

ICMR's National Tuberculosis Research Institute (NIRT) of Chennai has been approved by the Tamil Nadu government for testing on July 15. Under this, the effectiveness of BCG vaccine on the elderly will be studied. The BCG-COVID trial will also take place at five other centers under ICMR. These include the All India Institute of Ayurvedic Sciences, Delhi, besides the institutes of Ahmedabad, Bhopal, Mumbai, Jodhpur.
