“The leader of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia became a voluntary participant in large post-registration clinical trials of the world's first vaccine against coronavirus, Sputnik V,” Dupin quotes TASS.

He noted that at this stage 40 thousand Russian citizens will receive the vaccine.

Earlier, the director of the Gamaleya Center, Alexander Gintsburg, said that the vaccine against coronavirus should also be given to those who had the disease asymptomatically or in a mild form.
