S.e.bogomyagkova@spbu.ruSaint-Petersburg State University1506202129S173674205082021Copyright © 2021,2021Despite the unfolding of the COVID-19 pandemic, the rate of involvement of Russians in vaccination remains low, which makes the study of attitudes to this technology particularly relevant. Based on the results of the author's empirical research and data from mass surveys of the Foundation “Public Opinion” and All-Russian Center for the Study of Public Opinion, the article assesses the attitude of residents of our country to immunoprophylaxis against coronavirus. The study revealed that vaccination attitudes are a continuum, and the perception of vaccination against a new virus is associated in Russians with seasonal flu shots, and not with the National Vaccination Calendar. Today, the attitude towards immunoprophylaxis against COVID-19 in Russia can be characterized as distrust of a specific vaccine and approval of vaccination in general as an effective technology for combating epidemics. The key strategy is «waiting», and the choice of a personal trajectory of health care is driven by a broader trend of individualization and transformation of traditional social ties.COVID-19COVID-19vaccinationanti-vaccinationin-depth interviewssocial attitudesвакцинацияантивакцинаторствоглубинные интервьюсоциальные установки1.Кубарь О.
