Since February 2, the Moscow Department of Health has simplified the rules for obtaining a medical exemption from vaccinations in the capital. About it reported on the website of the department.
It is specified that Moscow has become a pilot region for the implementation of a unified federal standard for issuing such certificates. Throughout Russia, a similar procedure will work from February 2022. To receive a medical treatment on the portal of public services, you must have a Moscow compulsory medical insurance policy or be attached to the capital’s polyclinic.
To the newspaper “Kommersant” explained in the dezdrav that the list of diseases and conditions for the medical treatment indicated in the instructions for vaccines is small: it is recommended to temporarily postpone vaccination in case of acute infectious diseases, exacerbation of serious chronic diseases, in life-threatening and emergency conditions. Also, in some cases, the attending physician can make a decision on the medical withdrawal.
On November 17, Vedomosti found out that healthcare workers in Russia will have to enter information about people with contraindications for vaccination against COVID-19 into a special database. At the same time, experts warned that it is difficult to accurately count the number of people in this category. According to Sergei Voznesensky, Associate Professor of the Department of Infectious Diseases of the RUDN University, more than 10 percent of the country’s adult population may have a medical withdrawal from vaccination. On the other hand, Vasily Vlasov, an epidemiologist and professor at the Higher School of Economics, is confident that the share of adult Russians with contraindications accounts for only about 2-3 percent.
