The mayor of the Russian capital Moscow, Sergey Sobyanin, announced the start of vaccination of the city’s elderly residents against the emerging corona virus, on a voluntary and free basis, starting early next week.
Sobyanin confirmed in his personal blog on Sunday, the opening of the registry to vaccinate residents over 60 years of age, starting tomorrow, Monday, after the Russian Health Ministry approved yesterday the use of the “Sputnik V” vaccine to vaccinate to the elderly, based on the results of their clinical tests.
The mayor of Moscow praised the ministry’s decision, saying: “It is excellent, because elderly citizens are the highest risk group suffering from the disease more seriously than others. We open the registry for them from Monday and I would like to say, based on my personal experience, that this is really effective. “
Moscow tops the list of Russian regions most affected by Corona, and since the outbreak of the epidemic to today, it has recorded 786,204 confirmed cases of the coronavirus, including 10,913 deaths and 604,604 recoveries.
On December 24, Moscow health authorities monitored an unprecedented increase of 8,203 new injuries in 24 hours, but the daily injury rate has since declined to 6,620 cases in the last day.
