It is not even a means of basic prevention.
The official register of the Center for Expertise and Testing in Public Health states that the Belarusian vaccine against COVID-19 can be used only in case of critical deterioration of the epidemiological situation and in the absence of access to vaccines with proven efficacy, write "White Coats".
This means that the Belarusian drug is not considered as a basic means of mass prophylaxis. It is a backup option, in case everything else ceases to be available.
The developers themselves realize this. One of them, Igor Stoma, at the April congress of infectious disease specialists in 2025, stated bluntly: "It is not even the essence of the vaccine that is valuable, but the fact that there is a team of experts and the methodology has been worked out."
At the same time, in May 2024, documents appeared on a "state order" with commitments to produce millions of doses of the vaccine. Although at the official level it has not been announced at what stage the development and testing of the Belarusian vaccine against COVID-19 is at.
Is the vaccine really needed?"
Specialists note a decrease in the need for vaccination. On May 5, 2023, WHO Director General Tedros Ghebreyesus officially declared the end of the pandemic as a public health emergency.
Coronavirus is still with us, but now doctors recommend vaccination to a limited number of people.
What is the Belarusian vaccine?"
It is not a modern vaccine. BelCovidVac is based on the whole-virion antigen of the SARS-CoV-2/AY.122/2107 strain - this is the "Delta" variant, relevant for 2021.
Since then, the virus has repeatedly mutated, and since 2022, the Omicron strain and its sub-variants circulate exclusively in Belarus. This is officially stated in the collection of abstracts of the conference on microbiology, virology and immunology on May 30, 2025, emphasize "White Coats."
Vitebsk doctors were condemned for the destruction of thousands of vaccines from COVID-19
Belarusian specialists understand this. The authors of the publication about BelCovidVac directly point out that in conditions of high level of post-infection and post-vaccinal immunity, the effectiveness is assessed not in absolute, but in relative terms. That is, the candidate vaccine can only give a temporary increase in protection.
BelKovidVak vaccine has a registration certificate for a year, but the document clearly states: its use is possible only in the absence of access to proven effective vaccines. There can be no talk about any wide application - this is the wording from official documents.
BBut the state order has been submitted, millions of doses are being discussed, and the situation remains without clear explanations. At the same time, it was previously reported that the construction of the plant for the Belarusian vaccine for covida was stopped in 2024.
