“We are not talking about total compulsory vaccination, we are talking about the instructions of the chief sanitary doctor in the region and the decision that the head of the region makes on the basis of these instructions within the framework of those special powers that he has,” said Peskov.
According to him, the heads of the regions "first of all proceed from the situation that is developing - the spasmodic spread of the coronavirus."
“They use special powers, they are delegated to them by a presidential decree, this is not a total vaccination of the population, we are talking about compulsory vaccination for certain sectors of the economy,” Peskov said.
He noted that such a measure is justified.
Previously, Peskov expressed support for the decision of some regions to introduce mandatory vaccination against coronavirus for certain groups of citizens.
