For his part, Kreplak said on social networks: "We are very happy to start vaccinating health workers over 60. Teachers and leaders who gave so much in this pandemic and assumed many more risks for the health of the people.

As reported this Wednesday by the national government, after analyzing the additional reports sent by the manufacturer of the Russian vaccine, the Anmat determined that

"an efficacy range of 91.8% of the vaccine was reported for those over 60 years old

; immunization of the volunteers led to the formation of antibodies in 98.1% on day 28 after vaccination and the safety variable showed a profile that does not differ from that observed in the rest of the population ".
