Information of JINR Operational Headquarters about revaccination

News, 27 September 2021

Dear colleagues,
Currently, the total number of JINR employees vaccinated against the COVID-19 reaches 4,500 people, which is more than 80% of the total JINR staff. This high rate of vaccination of the staff allowed the Institute to avoid a so-called “third wave” of the COVID-19.

The Ministry of Health and Rospotrebnadzor recommend getting revaccinated and “renewing” an immune body system every 6 months. This is necessary to prevent other “waves” of the pandemic, as well as to increase a body resistance to new, more active strains of the coronavirus. A single-component vaccine Sputnik Light was developed for revaccination.

Vaccination of the JINR staff started in December 2020 and by now, more than 1,000 people have already been recommended for revaccination.

At present, the situation with the spread of the coronavirus in the entire country, and the Moscow region, in particular, remains difficult. Therefore, the Operational Headquarters recommends all JINR employees who got vaccinated with the first dose six months ago or more, getting revaccinated in Medical Unit No.9 in order to maintain and strengthen the collective immunity of the Institute. It is important to note, that Sputnik Light is a single-component vaccine this is why it is not required to attend a vaccination room twice.

The Operational Headquarters suggests registration for revaccination with the Sputnik Light vaccine by contacting the coordinator of the Headquarters Larisa Yurievna Stolypina +7 916 366 92 38, +7 (496) 216-30-49, stolypina@jinr.ru
