#Logunov: I can say for sure that according to our and foreign data, as well as international practice, we can see that the introduction of a third dose, introduction of re-vaccination into medical practice, brings the decrease in effectiveness back to its initial level, and even higher, sometimes 1.6 or two times higher than after the first dose. I am referring to the rate of effectiveness. We can see this from the morbidity index. So, this approach, re-vaccination, is working. It has proved its effectiveness, so, of course, it has found its way into the recommendations of the world’s leading regulators, as well as in the Russian Healthcare Ministry.
