The expert said that the prolongation of the time between vaccine doses did not affect its effectiveness.

There is a slight delay in the delivery of the next batch of Sputnik V vaccine. I can say that the Sputnik V vaccine will be delivered to our country on August 30. Many citizens are asking this question. There is a 21-day interval between 1st and 2nd doses of this vaccine. Now, as the interval between doses 1 and 2 has become longer, there has been an increase in the population that the vaccine has expired or should be re-administered.

If the interval between vaccinations is set at least 21 days, extending it to 12 weeks does not hurt either. After the vaccine is delivered, all citizens vaccinated with component 1 will also receive component 2,” the head of the department said.

According to a Kun.uz correspondent, it is not clear how many doses will be delivered in the next batch of the vaccine.

At the beginning of August, there was no second component of the Sputnik V vaccine left in Uzbekistan, which raised a number of questions and concerns among those vaccinated with the first component of the vaccine.
