“So I know for sure that vaccination is not scary, it is very important, it is very necessary to protect yourself and your loved ones,” RIA Novosti quoted Popova.

She said that if there are no contraindications, then people should be vaccinated against coronavirus with the drug that is available.

At the same time, Popova noted that there is no need to rush to vaccinate those who have been ill.
