“In the capital, work has long been built to vaccinate citizens, and the volume of vaccination against common flu, for example, in Moscow reaches 5-6 million people,” the mayor said in an interview with the Russia 24 TV channel.

According to him, the system is functioning.

At the same time, he stressed that the Ministry of Health must register the vaccine and must undergo state registration.

Earlier, the director of the WHO's health emergencies program, Michael Ryan, said that people "will not begin to receive the vaccine until the first half of next year."

Virologist, Doctor of Medical Sciences Anatoly Altstein, in an interview with the NSN, spoke about the options for the development of the situation with COVID-19.
