Argentine President Alberto Fernandez on Monday, December 6, announced that he had received a booster (additional) dose of the Russian Sputnik V coronavirus vaccine.
“Today, as part of my vaccination schedule, I received a booster dose of Sputnik V,” he wrote in his Twitter.
According to the Argentine leader, it is important that everyone completes their vaccination regimen (received two doses) and also receives a booster shot. This, he notes, will help maintain the current epidemiological situation and continue to improve the situation, the politician said.
“Do not hesitate, get vaccinated,” concluded the president.
A day earlier, Argentina approved the use of the Russian single-component coronavirus vaccine “Sputnik Light” as an independent drug, as well as a booster injection.
The Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) added that a study in Argentina to evaluate the combined use of Sputnik Light and vaccines from AstraZeneca, Sinopharm, Moderna and Cansino demonstrated that “the Russian drug is an effective universal booster for foreign drugs.
Russian authorities are urging residents to get vaccinated to protect their health and take care of their loved ones. Citizens are vaccinated for free. Five vaccines against coronavirus have been registered in the country: Sputnik V, which became the first vaccine against COVID-19 in the Russian Federation and the world, as well as Sputnik Light, EpiVacCorona, EpiVacCorona-N and KoviVak.
