“Today I can say that we are meeting the deadline.
The first batches of the vaccine have already been sent to the regions, and we are gradually reaching its planned production, ”he said at a meeting with vaccine manufacturers.
Mishustin said that the Russian regions will receive about 500 thousand doses of the coronavirus vaccine in December.
“The Ministry of Health has drawn up an appropriate schedule for the distribution of the drug throughout the country,” he said.
According to him, so far it has been possible to meet the terms for organizing vaccinations set by the president.
Earlier, Mishustin, at a meeting with manufacturers of vaccines against coronavirus infection, called on the heads of regions to monitor all stages of vaccination around the clock - from delivery and storage to distribution to the population.
On December 2, Russian leader Vladimir Putin ordered the start of a massive COVID-19 vaccination among doctors and teachers.
