Putin spoke about the pace of industrial production of vaccines against coronavirus in Russia

“Minister Manturov reported to me that the industry is working even ahead of schedule in terms of the number of drugs produced,” he said.

As Putin noted, earlier the head of Rospotrebnadzor, Anna Popova, reported to him that 68 million people were vaccinated as part of the influenza vaccination campaign in Russia.

“Approximately the same indicators should be reached on the issue of combating coronavirus infection,” the Russian president stressed.

Earlier, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova said that a large-scale production of the EpiVacCorona coronavirus vaccine would begin in February.
