He recalled that employees of the Ministry of Education are working in contact with colleagues from the Ministry of Health on the situation with the vaccination of schoolchildren against coronavirus. 

“As for the vaccinations of children, this is entirely the competence of doctors, the Ministry of Health, parents and the child himself, if he is an adult,” RIA Novosti quotes Kravtsov's statement.

Earlier, the Moscow Department of Education and Science recommended that schools in the capital establish New Year's holidays from December 27 to January 9.
