“Today, a decision has been made on state registration of a vaccine for the prevention of a new coronavirus infection, developed by the Gamaleya Centers of the Russian Ministry of Health,” he said.
According to the minister, this vaccine is one of the first registered vaccines in the world that have confirmed their effectiveness and safety.
“First of all, we consider it necessary to offer vaccination to those whose work is related to communication with infected people. These are medical professionals. And those on whom the health of children depends (these are teachers), ”he added.
On August 11, during a meeting with the government, Putin announced that a vaccine against COVID-19 has been registered in Russia.
According to the head of state, his daughter tested the Russian vaccine on herself.
