The Russian Ministry of Health registered the Convasel anticovid vaccine, produced by the Saint Petersburg Research Institute of Vaccines and Serums, which is part of the country’s Federal Medical and Biological Agency (Fmba, for its acronym in Russian).
The drug consists of an emulsion for intramuscular administration with a dose of 0.5 milliliters that can be injected into people between 18 and 60 years of age, according to the state drug registry.
The vaccine has an expiration date of six months and should be stored at temperatures between 2 and 8 degrees Celsius in places protected from light.
In June 2021, the preclinical trials of the drug were completed, in which its safety, its immunogenicity (ability to activate the immune system and induce an immune response) and its protective potential were demonstrated.
Adverse effects reported during clinical trials included muscle pain, chills, indisposition, fatigue, itching at the injection site, and vomiting, among others.
According to the Fmba, the main mechanisms of the operation of the new vaccine lie in the elaboration of a specific immune response at the cellular level, of a phenotype of central memory cells, as well as in the development of an intracellular viral neutralizing response.
