Director of the Center. Gamalei Alexander Gunzburg said that a PCR test after using a nasal vaccine against coronavirus can show a positive result, but the likelihood of this is small, since the virus on the mucous membrane is destroyed very quickly. TASS reports.

“It is possible, but this is a very short period of time, and you need to try to catch this period in order to get a positive PCR, until the phagocytic cells devour this virus. At the same time, the virus must be in some very concentrated state, ”said Gunzburg.

Earlier, Gunzburg announced the timing of the introduction of a nasal vaccine against coronavirus into civilian circulation - in 3-4 months.

Russia became the first country in the world to register a vaccine against COVID-19. The drug was developed by NITsEM named after Gamaleya together with the Russian Direct Investment Fund and was named "Sputnik V".

Prior to that, the director of the Center. N.F. Gamalei, Alexander Gintsburg, said that recruiting volunteers for researching a nasal vaccine against a new coronavirus infection in Russia will begin on January 15.
