Russia (bbabo.net), - There were no children in Moscow between the ages of 6 and 11 who did not encounter the coronavirus and did not have antibodies at all. The director of the Gamaleya Center Alexander Gintsburg told about this, Interfax reports.

According to the scientist, this fact came to light during the search for volunteers to test the Sputnik M vaccine. “It is impossible to find those who have not experienced the coronavirus. There were ideas to look for them somewhere far away from Moscow, from big cities, but, you know, organizationally this is simply unrealistic,” Gunzburg said.

Now, the scientist explained, the Gamaleya Center will have to change the test protocol - to make the lower limit of the antibody content not 0, but at least 100 BAU.

"We are urgently submitting an amendment to our protocol, I hope we will be given permission quickly," said Alexander Gunzburg. According to him, this situation will not affect the timing of the vaccine research in any way, and the trials should begin in three weeks.
