"The list of vital and essential drugs (VED) will be replenished with 25 new names, including vaccines against coronavirus," the statement said.

As noted, vaccines will be listed in early December 2020, which will ensure their availability.

Earlier, Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova said that mass vaccination against coronavirus infection in the country is planned from 2021.

It will be voluntary.

The Sputnik V vaccine was reported to be more than 95% effective on day 42 of the study.
