(Fighting New Coronary Pneumonia) Mayor of Moscow: About half of Moscow people are immune to the new coronavirus

　　China News Agency, Moscow, November 26. On the 26th, Moscow Mayor Sobyanin said in an interview with Russian Channel 24 that about half of the people in Moscow are immune to the new crown virus.

　　Sobyanin said that theoretically 50% of Moscow's residents are protected to some extent.

But mass vaccination is still the most important thing, and this is expected to begin.

Moscow has set up about 300 vaccination stations, equipped with refrigerators and other necessary equipment and personnel.

In addition, an electronic information system for the registration of people's vaccination has been established and everything is ready.

　　Sobyanin mentioned that under the framework of post-registration clinical trials (Phase III clinical trials), more than 20,000 people in Moscow were vaccinated with the "Satellite-V" vaccine and they all felt good.

This is a big benefit for the vaccine being put into industrial production.

At present, vaccine manufacturers are progressing well and have produced a large number of vaccines.

　　According to the TASS news agency, Russian Presidential Press Secretary Peskov said on the same day that Russia should start mass vaccination before the New Year.

Mass vaccination will be carried out in phases on a voluntary basis.

　　Peskov mentioned that the Russian New Crown Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters and the vaccine manufacturer are discussing the production schedule of the vaccine. If necessary, this timetable will be announced by the Prevention and Control Headquarters.

　　Earlier, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Golikova said that 2 million “Satellite-V” new crown vaccines will be produced by the end of this year.

　　Since late September, the number of new infections in a single day in Russia has shown an upward trend.

According to the news from the Russian New Crown Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters on the 26th, 25,487 people were newly infected in Russia in the past day, setting a record for the highest number of new infections in a single day.

More than 2.187 million people have been infected throughout Russia.
