Most widespread coronavirus COVID-19 observed among children. This was stated by the Deputy Director for Clinical Work of the Moscow Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology named after G.N. Gabrichevsky Tatiana Ruzhentsova… This is due to the fact that children have a very low level of immunity from coronavirus.
Ruzhentsova emphasized: it is in these unvaccinated groups that the greatest spread of infection and the most severe course of the disease are observed.
Earlier, Deputy Director for Research of the Central Research Institute of Epidemiology of Rospotrebnadzor, Chairman of the National Scientific Society of Infectious Diseases Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences Alexander Gorelov said that the most difficult children have coronavirus up to one year and adolescents, as well as children who have congenital defects or somatic concomitant chronic pathology.
The most reliable way to protect yourself from coronavirus infection is to get vaccinated. The Minister of Health of the Russian Federation Mikhail Murashko stressed that among the patients with COVID-19, the proportion of those vaccinated does not exceed four percent, severe cases are rare, and most of the patients in hospitals are unvaccinated people.
Coronavirus vaccine entered civilian circulation “Gam-COVID-Vac M” (or “Sputnik M”). It was developed by the Gamaleya Center for adolescents 12-17 years old. This age group needs to be vaccinated due to the spread of the delta strain, which causes the most severe course of the disease in children.
