During vaccination with the Russian vaccine, which was developed and the first in the world to be used, according to Popov, patients must avoid alcohol two weeks before vaccination and also for another six weeks after vaccination with the first dose.

Russia’s Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova has previously spoken out against alcohol consumption after vaccination. However, it encouraged compatriots only to “limit the consumption of spirits”.

Dry before and long after the injection
Popov clarified that, in the interests of health, alcohol should not be drunk “either before, after or during” vaccination, which consists of two doses of the vaccine. She explained this by the fact that the consumption of spirits allows the body to detoxify the body with all its might, but this is at the expense of building immunity. In short, the body should be given a chance to develop a proper defense response after vaccination.

“At least two weeks before vaccination, it is necessary to stop taking (alcohol). It takes 21 days between two injections and another 21 days after the (second) injection to develop immunity, which is 42 days. But you must clearly understand that you have to save these days, “Popov said in a radio interview.

Voluntary compulsory vaccination
Kommersant recalled that in Russia the authorities have so far approved two Russian vaccines: Sputnik V and EpiVakKorona. A third vaccine is also being prepared for production. At the behest of President Vladimir Putin, there have been mass vaccinations since the end of last week, initially by teachers, doctors and social workers.
–
Vaccination is voluntary, although there have already been reports in the independent media that in some large state-owned companies it is more of a “voluntary compulsory” vaccination with well-defined quotas for workers. In Russia, more than 2.5 million people have become infected since the beginning of the pandemic.

The developers of Sputnik V, which was only registered in August and is still being tested, claim that the vaccine is 95% effective and should not cause any serious side effects. About two million batches should be produced by the end of the year.
