The pace of COVID-19 vaccination in Russia has significantly increased during the last period, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday, APA reports citing TASS.
"The vaccination rate has surged, thank God. I would like to hope that such a tendency will remain after the non-working days. Currently, the level of vaccination has increased significantly, which is good for all of us," the Kremlin spokesman noted.
On January 18, Russia launched mass vaccination against COVID-19 among the adult population. The country has already registered some five coronavirus jabs: Sputnik V, EpiVacCorona, CoviVac, Sputnik Light and EpiVacCorona-N.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin declared paid non-working days from October 30 to November 7, 2021. After that, the government decided to resume the lending to affected industries with an annual interest rate of 3% as well as to introduce lump-sum payments amounting to minimum wage per employee.
