The study involves employees of the Arabic edition of RT Mussus Yasmin and Mohammed Mustafa Saleh, as well as an employee of the Spanish edition of the TV channel, Moraga Gonzalez Isayas Carlos.

RT employees are the first foreigners to participate in the COVID-19 vaccine research program.

As part of the research, they will be assigned a curator and asked to keep medical observation diaries.

In two weeks they will come for the second shot of the vaccine.

On September 23, Moscow authorities announced that now residents of the capital do not need to have a Moscow compulsory medical insurance policy to participate in a post-registration study of a coronavirus vaccine.

Participants from Russian regions and foreign citizens who work or live in Moscow can receive the vaccine.
