Russia (bbabo.net), - Infectionist Andrei Pozdnyakov advised unvaccinated Russians to get vaccinated against COVID-19 before it's too late. Due to the spread of the new Omicron strain, a new surge in the incidence has already begun in St. Petersburg and Moscow.

“You can have time to be vaccinated or revaccinated so that immunity is formed by the peak of the next wave,” RIA Novosti quotes the doctor.

Pozdnyakov recalled that those vaccinated, even if they become infected, get sick in a mild form - they have a common respiratory infection that does not require hospitalization.

As for those who have not been vaccinated, they tolerate the "omicron" strain in different ways, but in most cases easier than the "delta" variant. Requires outpatient treatment.

“If Omicron proceeds easily, then a lockdown is really not needed,” Pozdnyakov said.
